Who Killed the Electric Car?

Group Assignment

Working in your groups, you will be creating a Powerpoint presentation that will argue for or against the creation and sales of the electric car.  If you are working for the electric car, then you must research why and how this type of automobile is best for our economy and our environment.  If you are working against the electric car, then you must propose an alternative auto to implement and supply research to back-up your claims.

Your final presentation may have a combination of graphics, text and audio (voice over) and video or in any other multimedia you can create.  You will be judged on your research, your creativity and your presentation delivery.  Your final presentations will be uploaded on the due date, and I will convert these presentations into streaming files that can be accessed by all on Moodle.
