Memorize!
The following documents contain information to memorize for the course. We will be using the information all year, so it is imperative that you begin study as soon as possible. The dates in the titles are the tentative days for the quiz.
Topic 9
Fish Kill—Finding the Solution: Instructions
You and your classmates will participate in a Riverwood Town Council Meeting in which special interest groups will voice their position on the fish kill issue and the town council will decide who is responsible and who must pay. Some members of your class will moderate the “Fish Kill—Who Pays?” Others will represent the various special interest groups outlined in the book. Please Note: This is a role-modeling activity! Get into your roles! Use acting, costumes, banners, slogans, etc.
