Middle+School+Lesson+Plans

Our lesson plan will have students researching the pros and cons of wind energy. They will be researching the energy benefits of the windmills versus keeping the natural value of the landscape. It is a green power versus green landscape debate. The debate will focus around the Jordanville wind farm proposal. Students will gather data regarding the impact of wind power production on nature and power generation of the Jordanville wind farm and write a persuasive essay for and against the wind farm. After they have researched both sides they will have to pick one they agree with and the class will have a debate to attempt to solve the issue in class.
