Firefighting chemicals in drinking water

Throughout the semester you will be challenged to choose an issue that is important to you. You will begin to look at the root causes of the issue and possible solutions that could address the issue. Today, you will explore a randomly assigned topic and share your information with the class. After learning about a variety of topics, you will fill out an interest survey to see what topics inspire you to think creatively and act in our community.

1. Before you complete your case study (15 min): Look at a Sample
1. Skim the article here.

2. If you get confused, fill in as much as you can. Everyone must have the title, summary, class connections, and illustration.
3. Number off around the classroom. Your number is the article below that you will read. Not every class will read all articles!
