After you have written all of your supporting paragraphs (3 paragraphs, one reason each), you should write the concluding paragraph. This should look like this:


This is a very important issue. Your decision to support this initiative could make the difference in the lives of millions of people and hundreds of species. Please consider supporting the Mike Simpson's Columbia Basin Initiative. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. With your help, we could save the salmon.

Continue working on lesson 5-4. Do all the independent practice problems and 6 of the problem solving problems. 

Read pages 156-158 in your Science text. Then, using the information on those pages, answer question 1 of the Lesson Check on page 159.

This is the For/Against chart the class compiled yesterday. Read through the reasons you might support or oppose (disapprove of) the initiative, then decide your opinion on it. You may also watch the video from Mike Simpson about the initiative. In your ELA notebook, write your claim. It should look like one of these two options:


1. I support the Columbia Basin Initiative proposed by Idaho Representative Mike Simpson to remove 4 of the lower dams on the Snake River. 
2. I oppose the Columbia Basin Initiative proposed by Idaho Representative Mike Simpson to remove 4 of the lower dams on the Snake River.


Then, give 3 complete reasons for your claim. Try to expand on each reason and explain why it is important, or give an example. 

Draw a T Chart and label one side "For" and the other side "Against". Then, using everything you know about hydropower, dams, and salmon, come up with as many reasons that support the Columbia Initiative (removing 4 dams on the Columbia River) and do not support it (not removing the dams).
