As we've read in A Christmas Carol, the lesson that Scrooge learned is that it feels good to give to those in need. So we are going to research and report on a local Non Profit Organization to donate to this Christmas season.
Charity comes from a word which means loving and caring for others. Its dictionary definition is 'An institution, organization, or fund established to help the needy.'
For this writing assignment, you will choose a local charity/non profit organization and research that charity's website for useful information. You will need to write down (in your own words of course)
You will then give a brief speech (1-2 minutes) to the rest of the class about your charity, what it does, and why it matters.
At the end of the speeches we will vote for the charity that we think is the most important and discuss why people voted for the winner.
