Portfolio Assignment (Due Monday)

‘The Green Report’

-Choose a city.

-sustainable architecture
-green areas like parks, etc…
-and so on…

-Write a 4 or 5 paragraph essay:
1) Introduction
2) Green report (based on your research)*
3) Green suggestions (your opinion: what are the next things the city could do to improve their eco-friendliness?*
4) Conclusion.

-*You may need to write part 2 or part 3 as more than one paragraph!
-Remember, paragraphs should have a clear topic sentence!

-On Monday you will share your findings and your suggestions with the class… you can use the note card provided, but you’ll give me your essay before you speak!
