SAR PROJECTS DUE MONDAY - PLEASE READ THIS POST!

Tips:

1. follow the directions closely...if you include ALL REQUIRED information you will likely learn a lot about your SAR and will also earn a fine mark relfecting your learning.
2. Short and sweet is better than long and boring...remember you really only need the required information.
3. Ensure you do a great job of your references/bibliography. If you want to practice for University/College/High School you should reference pictures/maps/diagrams you use on each slide or page of your report. I won't dock marks for not doing this but like I say, it is awesome to be prepared for the future, now!
4. Action projects: this is an important componant to your project. The idea is to take some form of action that may help promote saving your species from exctinction. Some people are simply gluing their written report to an informational poster - that's fine. Others are making brochures in publisher. There are a few of you that are working on radio broadcasts (simply record an message about your SAR and how to help save it using a computer and microphone - this can be done using various programs). and TV commercials. Letters to government officials, newspapers, or magazines are also a great idea.

Here are some places you could send a letter:

• Alberta sustainable resource and development: http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/
• Canadian Geographic magazine: http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/
• Calgary Herald or another paper in the area that your SAR inhabits (you must have your parents give permission for your letter to be printed in the newspaper): http://www.calgaryherald.com/opinion/letters/submit.html

There are many many places you can send a letter! Be sure to make a copy of your letter (especially if you submit it electronically) so you can get your mark for your action!

Want to save paper? Hand in your project digitally! By saving paper we might actually help save some of our species indirectly...nice! Save your project like this:
