Create a collaborative investigation project where student groups assume the roles of environmental detectives working alongside Noah to build a comprehensive case against the Coral Queen's illegal dumping. Teams should analyze evidence from chapters 1-14, create a multi-media presentation that combines legal arguments, environmental impact assessments, and community action proposals, with each member contributing expertise in different areas such as marine biology, law enforcement, journalism,

This resource focuses on the collaborative analysis of a novel's chapters (1-14) to explore environmental degradation and develop persuasive arguments around ecological issues. Students are assigned specialist roles—such as Marine Biologist, Legal Investigator, Environmental Journalist, and Community Activist—each tasked with gathering and evaluating data related to environmental impacts, legal violations, and community perspectives. The goal is to prepare multi-media presentations for a town hall meeting, where students will present their findings and proposals, engage in Q&A sessions, and deliberate on sustainable solutions. The project emphasizes critical thinking, teamwork, and the application of persuasive communication skills to advocate for environmental justice.
