It Costs What?

We read a short article from Ranger Rick called, "It Costs What?" Which is about the hidden costs of a simple tee shirt. It digs into the resources used to make a cotton and polyester blend shirt, by looking at the resources used to grow, harvest, and process the cotton and the oil and processing for the polyester as well as the packaging and transportation involved in getting it to a store near you. We went through a note taking chart to keep track of all the details. Here is a copy, "Chart Notes for It Costs What". If students were not able to finish it in class, they need to do it for homework tonight, due Thursday, November 29.
