Unit Plan Title:
Oil, Oil, Oil Everywhere! Gulf Oil Spill Summary: After investigating how and where to find oil, how oil pipe lines are used, how the oil is retrieved from the wells and what guidelines are in place to protect the environment in case there is an oil spill, how the recent oil spill has affected Alabama, the students will assume the role of the Governor of Alabama and lobby the Alabama delegation for more funds to aide the affected regions of Alabama. Students will also create a newspaper to report their findings about the Gulf oil disaster to the general public. Curriculum Framing Questions: Essential Question: How can we help our coastal communities during a crisis?
Unit Questions: What can governments and coastal communities do to rid their areas of pollutants? How can this be accomplished?
What ways can a message be effectively communicated?
Content Questions: How can we use the basic elements of design to address the purpose of a newspaper and electronic communications? What are the steps used to design a newpaper?
