The brochure will be handed out to other students, and others around town to get the students' message out to the community. The radio spot will be aired on the local radio station with the same information gathered from the surveys.

Performance TaskAfter a week-long discussion of trustworthiness and its importance, students will create a 10-15 question survey using student-created questions to survey their peers. Students will then analyze the data from the survey and present it in the form of either a brochure or radio spot.
