Your outline is very brief, so I am a tad worried. Make sure you cover many of the key points in the suggested outline (accessible in your workspace.)
ReplyDeleteBe sure to address the costs and risks of not acting. The other side will argue that exotics are risky. What is the risk of doing nothing?
also be sure to defend your reasons for concern using the values language of the class (i.e., economic, ecocentric, etc.)
Let me know how I can help?
Do you have a prop?
Remember that the presentation is 5-8 minutes and I will cut you off. Please be rehearsed and bring the "script."
Your outline is hard to read, but I realize that is because blogging does not make it easy (sorry about that...looks like I need to find different technology, pehaps google docs? Suggestions welcome)
Also, recognize that Team A will present their argument first, so they will likely cover lots of the "bay health" issues. Your presentation can focus less on that and more on solutions and problems with other team's solutions.
