| Introduction

During
the action component you will do three things: 1.
Use your research and come up with a plan to
help “save the bay.” To accomplish this, you are going to create
your own special interest group whose goal will be to organize a campaign
to inform the public of the current problems and how they can help to
solve them. You
may choose to create a poster, flier, informational brochure or commercial to get your message
out. Examples of Interest Groups
2. Draft legislation (write a bill) that will address one of the problems causing pollution in the Bay. Use the template and example below to help you. Click here to see current laws
3. Write a letter to the Congressman or Senator from Maryland of
your choice. When writing
the letter include the following: Ø Who you are and why you are writing the letter (intro) Ø Some information on the current state of the Bay Ø Suggestions on what can be done to help solve this problem Ø What
types of laws you would like to see he/she draft and/or support
concerning the Bay Ø A conclusion in which you thank the Congress person for his or her time * Group members must evaluate all work together. Go to the evaluation page to see how each part will be graded.
