Tragedy+of+the+Commons+-+A+Children's+Book

The Tragedy of the Commons: A Book for Grownups Final Product Due on Monday, April 30th Drawing upon your understanding of [|The Tragedy of the Commons], you will create a children book for adults that uses content-specific issues, concepts, and terms (i.e., Environmental issues) in a way that is both scientific, historical, and creative. You will use any case study, war, conflict, human rights violation, or historical figure discussed this year as the setting, characters, etc... - the more creative and accurate, the better your score will be.
