Your group's presentation must include a visual, a written, and an oral component. It is your group's task to answer this question:

Why can't this topic be ignored?

--You may create a poster with clear labels and images and present it to the class.
--You may create a pamphlet with photos and text and present that to the class.
--You may lecture and show a slideshow with images and text.
--You may create a 'newspaper' to share your information and images and then present it to the class.

You can be creative with your product, as long as the information is thorough and correct. Your images must be school-appropriate.
