Environmental Commercial - Assignment

Students will choose an environmental topic of their choice. Topics can be straightforward like endangered animals or they can be seemingly off-topic like vaccinations or cell phone use - or anything else in between. Students will submit a proposal with their topic (see previous proposals for examples) which should include a central question. The central question will govern the scope and breadth of the research. Students will then form and argument based on their central question and use visual media to argue their point. The final project will be an animoto/iMovie mashup. Each mashup should contain elements of ETHOS, PATHOS and LOGOS.
Student samples are along the side of the blog and are also available on Mr. Bennett's 1301 blog
