Renewable energy: How does it work

In preparation for Thursday's English exam we will spend the remaining periods writing about a form of renewable energy of your choice from the four major types we studied in class.

You will be provided  a video that you can get from my public folder when you log onto the network I created in class. There are four folders: biomass, wind, solar or geothermal energy.  In your schoology accounts there is a file that contains at least two links for each of the types of renewable energy mentioned above.

What do you have to do, then you ask? Decide on which field of renewable energy you want to write about; choose the video from my public folder and the links from your schoology accounts and then watch and read about the renewable energy you chose. Then  write a 150 word essay on how that form of renewable energy provides power in the form of electricity or heating and cooling to the consumer.


But wait, there's more. You have to write how this form of renewable energy helps the environment we live in.  What are the reasons why governments and countries should use the form of renewable energy you chose; why change when we already have plenty of energy, electricity and air conditioning. You should show at least two distinct paragraphs in your essay and spelling will count.



After you complete your 150 word essay, please turn it in via the schoology assignment tab.  This is an individual assignment, which means you must work on it alone in class.  You have plenty of reading, listening and writing to do, so class should be quiet.  I'll be there as usual so if you have any questions please ask.
