Introduction
Hello, environmentalist.
You are part of an environmental group, so you know what environmental problems are and their possible causes. In addition, you know how some of these issues could be avoided or reduced and how they will affect in the future. We must not let these problems progress, we must warn people about the problems of the future!
Remember some of the environmental issues: pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, overpopulation, waste disposal.
Task
This is what you have to do:
You are a person who wants to create awareness of caring for the environment. For that, you must create a poster, write an informational brochure, or whatever resource you want to create in order to inform people about how they can help to save the planet. After that, you are going to share your work with the class by doing a brief presentation.
To start your work, you can think: Do people know what the consequences of their actions are on the environment? How do I make people aware of the damage that humans cause to the environment? In what way will I get more attention from them? What changes should be made to the environment?
Process
Process and Resources

Step 3: Revise and remember the use of Future tense. This link should help :)
Step 4: Now that you have a clearer idea, you have to decide what you are going to create. (poster, brochure, video, etc.)
Step 5: Organize your ideas and make a draft of what you will include in your creation. (write or give information, recommendations, phrases, etc)
Step 6: Make a brief presentation of your work for the class and share how you completed all the steps.
Suggestions: you can use Powerpoint, Word, Canvas, etc.
