Process

Governor Corzine has stated that he needs an expert scientist, researcher, local conservationist and global conservationist. You must bring this knowledge together in a PowerPoint presentation.

1. Your team will consist of four members. Team members must select one job from the Governor's list.

2. Each member will be responsible for completing his or her own data sheet of information, that will later be shared with the fellow team members. You will not be creating a PowerPoint slide off of your own information. You will switch with one other team member to create your slide based on their information.

3. You may use only the links provided under your job title to gather your information.

4. Your partners are as follows: SCIENTIST switches with RESEARCHER

LOCAL CONSERVATIONIST switches with GLOBAL CONSERVATIONIST

5. Remember that your partner is using your information for their PowerPoint slide, so make sure you do your best work! You must include one graphic, one animation and three important facts in your slide.
