Below Required For Each Paragraph:

Groups of max 4 - rows are a good suggestion for ease of operations - I have copied 2 of each of the 3 example stakeholder groups: Ski Bum Association, Reporter Revelstoke Review & Seniors Association of Revelstoke.  - Thus 1 for each of the 6 groups. 

Task - Student Groups = after you have completed your group paragraph (with all grammar, correct spelling and format) please present your group work to the class. 20-30 min. 

Discussion. E.g. similarities and differences between the perceived views of the project from various stakeholders - Ski Bum Association, Reporter Revelstoke Review & Seniors Association of Revelstoke. 

Students - ensure your names are ALL on your group paragraphs.
