Thursday and Friday

Using your choice of free website generators such as wix or weebly, (I prefer https://sites.google.com/) your group (the same as your micro-loan research) is to create a website that brings attention to one of the following issues:

Prevention of genocide
Recognition of the Day of Peace
Micro-loans
Ending Famine
The work of UNICEF
The refugee problem

Your site should be solution oriented and pro active in getting the community to become involved.  The rubric we will be using can be found at http://educatoral.com/website_design_rubric.html.  We will be using peer evaluation sheets to gauge individual effort.

This website is half of your final exam grade and is due the first day of finals.

Micro-loan Candidates January 3rd Project

Using the information you gathered on Friday, 12/23, you will put a micro-loan plan into action. Kiva is an organization that organizes micro-loans to people in need.  We as a class will select 4 people to support in their attempts to make their lives better.  Each group of 4, after discussion and research,  will select one person from the following website to invest in.  The proper amount of research will yield the best candidates.  Team leaders will place in the comments section the name of the person and why he or she was chosen.
