Day 3 Using the story board create a PowerPoint presentation.

Day 4 You will present the information in a PowerPoint presentation to your class. The class will then determine which alternative energy is the **best** choice for **our** community.

Day 5 - Day 6 You will then use persuasive writing in an attempt to be a community advocate; you will ultimately try to persuade other members of the community to adopt this alternative energy source. You will defend your choice using information learned in this lesson (in your research, if applicable, and other student presentations).
