Class blog links
Hi everyone...
I'm starting to link to blogs you all are making (on the side ------> )
If you don't see yours in the list, comment with your URL and I'll add it.
They look great so far.

Research
On the right side of the page are some links where you will find a wealth of information for your project.
Internet research is one of the easiest things ever! Just make sure that if you borrow text or a photo from a website, you cite it.
Guidelines for Advocates
1. I dentify the issue
2. Set a goal
3. Become an expert
4. Recruit allies & identify roadblocks
5. Identify strategies
6. Plan for success
7. Work the media
8. Create a resource pool
In Wednesday's class, we'll be choosing our water topics and the format of our projects.
(For example, a blog, a viral video campaign, or a slideshow-- I'm sure you can come up with even more!)
Above are some guidelines that will be helpful to you during your project. How do you plan on getting your message out there?

Introductory Slide Show
If you can't view this slide show, it may be blocked by the DOE. (I couldn't see it in school.)
First, here are the research questions for HW:
* What percentage of the world's water is clean?
* What percentage of the world's water is fresh?
* What percentage of the world's water is potable?
To view the slides (as GIF files in Flickr) click here.
Welcome to the Where Does The Water Go? blog
Welcome to WIHS Where Does the Water Go? Project blog. Here are some basic guidelines for our blog:
Adding comments to a blog is not like writing a formal essay. You don't have a chance to go back and edit, spell-check, and change your mind. Once you hit the submit button you pretty much have to live with what you wrote. Sure, the blog administrator can go in and make changes, but that usually takes the spontaneity out of the conversation.
Having said that, this is an educational blog. Teachers, principals, and educators from all around the country are reading this blog so we encourage all participants to try to present the best impression. If something irrelevant is posted, the blog-administrator will automatically delete the post, but we won't correct spelling, punctuation, or grammar.
We hope you enjoy our project and look forward to your participation. Let us know who you are!!
