Focus:
The main goal of my participation in this cause is to spread awareness about animal cruelty to others in my school/community so that we can make a difference in what goes on in our world. If we as a group become a part of this cause, then we can help make a change. I hope to inform the class about what happens to animals on factory farms, in laboratories, in the fur/fashion industry and in entertainment.
Points of interest:
Everyone shops, we are consumers that's what we do. We are pelted in the face with advertisements that dictate what we think we want and what we should buy. Things like cosmetics, fragrances, and personal care items. As individuals we are given the choice of what products to use and so forth. Buying strictly from companies that don't test on animals would help make companies that do test change their minds.
Achievement:
I will take a survey on the class' favorite products and companies, and research whether or not these companies test on animals. If they do, I'll offer companies with similar products that don't test on animals. Giving my class the necessary information to choose whether or not they want to help my cause.
Preferred Presentation type(medias):
-power point
-prezi
Timeline:
*Monday May 17th:
-Survey the class and see what products they love.
-Research as many of the companies as I can.
*Tuesday May 18th:
-Attempt to finish researching companies/products.
-Start finding alternative products to the 'do' companies.
*May 19-21st:
Create a Prezi or power point presentation on my findings, and work on it.
*May 22nd- 24th"
