Explanatory news article on an environmental issue

First, write an online article that helps readers understand an issue related to the environment. This half of the assignment should present evidence from credible sources, as well as some kind of visual aid. The second half of the assignment is to turn the article into a speech that will be presented to a younger audience.
The article should avoid making a direct argument and instead present information that you found through research. Use headings to organize your information, and hyperlinks and citations to show the reader where you got your information. The speech will present the same general information but will stick to the most important topics and use a different tone.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
A clear focus on an environmental issue
A hook to get the reader interested in the topic your article covers
A body made up of short paragraphs, each about a different topic
Headings to organize the different topics you cover
Evidence that comes from credible sources and is relevant to the topics you explore in your article
Hyperlinks and citations to help readers find your sources later
An outline for a speech that’s based on your article but geared toward a younger audience
