Problems
We as a school didnt have many problems in starting the Doors to Diplomacy project. most of the students on the team already had computer access and experience, making the website building easy, and John Muir has many skilled authors, so writing our entries was easy as well.
We were lucky enough to be partnered with a school from Ghana, Africa. Our friends from Africa help us understand what is going on there, and help us realize that pollution is a world wide problem. This insight makes our entry even more interesting.
Project Description
John Muir's doors to diplomacy project is mostly revolving aroundthe topic of pollution, be it: air pollution, water pollution, orlittering. We are writing about pollution in Germany, India, and SanDiego, and we've also joined up with someone from Ghana to report on the pollution problems they have there. We areconcentrating on the future of San Diego as well, what it will look likein 10-20 years if we keep up what is happening now.
Sound Bite
Doors to diplomacy has really been eye opening for our students. They realize how wide-spread pollution problems are and how pollution is affecting San Diego.
