AP Exam Review

4/28/2014

Use the CB key analysis to create a bar graph of your results that will help you identify your low-scoring areas. I need to see this before you leave today...you can send me a picture of the graph to my email, so that you may keep it for your homework.

Once you define your target areas, use the Key with Explanations to enrich your Quizlet review. Also use the review document provided on Friday. Completed Quizlets are due tomorrow.

Adamson Talks Trash

4/14/2014

Chapter 25 quiz

Work with your group to complete your preliminary studies for the trash project. I will expect a report on Tuesday that compiles all your findings. 

Friday and Ways to Help

4/4/2014

I'm packing today. You have a few things to handle.

1. Take the Chapter 24 Quiz.

2. Dig in and register a grant idea under the category recycling on WaysToHelp.org


Remember, 5000 words or less.
The website has lists of things you can do.
Make sure you send me confirmation.


3. Build your knowledge of public policy. Finish reviewing the notes on class jump, or work on e-learn. Make sure you understand the public policy cycle.

Persistent Organic Pollutants

4/2/2014

Create a flyer about POPs to accompany your landfill model in the display.

Your flyer needs to:

• Identify the persistent organic pollutants represented in your landfill.
• Identify the source of those persistent organic pollutants.
• Identify the health effects of those persistent organic pollutants.
• Identify three strategies for the prevention of leachate contamination with those persistent organic pollutants.

Here's the rubric for evaluating your flyer
