 This is a multi-day culminating activity for Wonders Unit 6 Weeks 1-2.  Students will use the Wonders materials provided in the Reading/Writing companion, as well as their Literature Anthology to learn about renewable and non-renewable resources. Students will work in pairs to answer the question; Which renewable energy source is best for our NC Region?  Students will develop an interview script to educate classmates about the renewable energy source of choice and provide details to support this throughout the interview script.  Partners will utilize Flipgrid to record themselves as the interview participants.
