B2.2 Introvert or Extrovert ???

If you want to find out once and for all if you are introverted or extroverted take this in-depth exam and answer the questions as honestly as possible. I'm interested to hear about your results.

Take the quiz here. Another, shorter quiz, can be taken here.

B1.1 Environment Project

I want you and a partner to create a pamphlet or document you can give to people about an environmental problem. Problems we have discussed in class are...

- Deforestation (Cutting down trees for use as furniture, paper, farmland, etc.)
- Extinction (When animals no longer exist)
- Air pollution
- Water usage (Drought)
- Nuclear pollution

There are many others and if you want to choose a different one please ask first!

In your pamphlet you should have this information.

1. What are the causes of the problem?

Ex. Deforestation. 1. People use a lot of paper. 2. People want wood to.... 3. People cut down trees so they can farm and graze animals. 

2. What effects does the problem have on the environment? (Use google to search for effects)

Ex. If we cut down the trees, there will be no place for the world to live?

3. What can we do to solve the problem?

I will provide you with paper and markers!
