Evaluation
For this project you and your “siblings” will create an educational resource in the form of a PowerPoint presentation and write a persuasive paper for your parents to educate them and help them decide the best city in which to purchase a house.
There are several reasons for having you educate and persuade your parents:
Educational Resource: Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create a presentation educating your parents and the class about the geological, historical, safety, and planning aspects of buying a house in an area at risk of earthquakes. The presentation should flow, be free from spelling, grammar, and typing errors, visually appealing, and should not distract from content.
Persuasion Paper: Use Microsoft Word to write a persuasive paper to your parents arguing for purchasing a home in a specific city. Provide lots of accurate data to support your claim to convince them. The paper also should flow, and be free from spelling, grammar, and typing errors.

There are several reasons for having you educate and persuade your parents:
- I want you to know how to take natural disasters into consideration before you move somewhere.
- I also wanted you to have the opportunity to find, analyze, combine, and organize information about earthquakes on the Internet and present your findings.
- I also wanted you to use the information gathered to persuade someone of the best city to buy a house in, so you have a sense forming a strong argument and the ability to find data and evidence to support your claim.
- Finally, I wanted to give you the opportunity to work with other students towards a common goal.
