Individual Research Topics - Resources Under Pressure/Sustainability Unit

Greetings Social Studies class, 
 
By the end of the period you need to log into this blog - and  post a comment on this post detailing what your chosen research topic is for the assessment task. Can you please be detailed and give me and "overview" of what approach you are going to take... possible case studies you will use etc.

Remember - you have resources at your disposal - including the "Resources Under Pressure" and "Sustainability" text books at the front of the class. They would be a great source of inspiration if you are struggling for a topic! 

Make sure you log into the blog first - then write your comment - and post (waiting for me to moderate your comments!).

Cheers,
          Ms Fridd.  :)
