In this activity, students write letters as part of an environmental action campaign They become more aware of how air pollution is a global environmental problems and play a part in its solution. They incorporate source materials into their speaking and writing, learn to write and speak in the content areas using the technical vocabulary of the subject accurately, and read, respond to and discuss literature that represents diverse points of view.
Because environmental engineers are so knowledgeable about air pollution problems, they contribute in many ways towards solutions to this global health issue. Some engineers study the origins and impact of air pollution, and design technologies to prevent it or clean it up. Other engineers educate and advise the public and government about the impact on human health and the environment, using their expertise to deliver a strong message so that action is taken to require the reduction of pollution.
After this activity, students should be able to:
- write letters as part of an environmental action campaign.
- incorporate source materials into their speaking and writing (for example, interviews, news articles, encyclopedia information).
- write and speak in the content areas using the technical vocabulary of the subject accurately.
- read, respond to and discuss literature that represents points-of-view from places, people, and events that are familiar and unfamiliar.
