Question

Jay is researching for his oral presentation about the lack of recycling in his town, and he finds this text about a high school student who lobbied her town council to improve the town’s recycling program. Yasmin Carrera was an honors student who also performed in school plays and ran track and field in the spring, but her biggest passion was the environment. Despite all her other commitments, she worked extremely hard to improve the recycling program in her hometown of Huntsville. She started by attending town hall meetings, and she would always come armed with statistics about how recycling cans and bottles could reduce Huntsville’s waste. She also described the positive effects of recycling on the environment. Sometimes, she brought photographs of garbage cans filled to the brim with recyclable materials. What finally pushed the town council to pass an ordinance to improve the recycling program was when Yasmin gave a presentation about how a neighboring town had implemented a recycling program and its positive effects. She attended fourteen town hall meetings, but it was worth it. What information from this source should Jay include in his notes?

Answer 2

1-the steps Yasmin took to convince the council to pass the ordinance

2-what information Yasmin presented to change the council’s mind

4-Yasmin’s purpose in attending the town hall meetings

Step-by-step explanation:

Yasmin was an extraordinary girl in talking to the city council about the importance of recycling, for that reason she would be a perfect example for Jay to put in his oral presentation about the lack of recycling in his city.

In this case, Jay does not need to report on his presentation, things from Yasmin's personal life, but he needs to report how important she was in improving the recycling process of her city.

So he should put in the presentation the steps Yasmin took to convince the council to approve the ordinance, what information Yasmin presented to change the mind of the council and Yasmin's purpose in attending town hall meetings.
