Overview
4. Balloon Releases (like at weddings, graduations, etc.)
- Fun angle: What seems like a celebration can kill wildlife and marine animals.
- Academic studies on marine debris, helium use, and the deadly effects on birds and sea turtles.
- For the mini-essays/mini-projects: students should expect to submit smaller written or creative projects throughout the semester. Mini-essays will consist of critical reflections or argument-focused responses on assigned course readings (10-12 pages, including at least 7-10 peer-reviewed citations each). Mini-projects may include a variety of more creative works that engage with course materials or concepts including (but not limited to): documentaries, infographics, podcasts, photography or other creative works. (Do not have to include class work as long as it revolves around nature and the environment). will also attach some of my writings in the class so you can see the writing style I use.
