Hope to see you there, and thank you so much for your help during this project!
Today ((today being last week)) in class we did some planning. We figured out a few visual metaphors to use and have one ready to use now. We also figured out more questions, the order we were going to put things in, and some people to interview. We are now in the process of setting up an interview with Kelley Greenman as an expert for our group. This should be awesome!
On Friday, we did our street interviews down on Fee Fee, and it was quite an interesting experience. It took our group a while to find someone to interview, but once we did, our interviews turned out quite well. The first person was not very knowledgable or insightful, but the other three had some great things to say and one of them really challenged us. I’m happy with the results!
- Teen cruising down the highway- shows the use of gas as a fossil fuel
- Smokestack of a factory/plant- shows the pollution given off into the air from manufacturing
- a girl putting on hairspray- shows the chemicals being released as gasses into the air
- ice melting- shows the effect on the earth
- Trees- the niceness of trees
#1 is the best one because it relates to us, as a generation and what we’re doing
Hello,
My name is Corrine B from Parkway North and I’m calling regarding a school documentary project on Global Warming. I was wondering if there was anyone available who would be willing to do an interview with me. Is there any way we could meet, we can come to you, or you can meet us wherever is convenient for you. You can reach me at (#). For future reference, could i please get your name? Thank you very much. Have a nice day!

With Climate Change Comes Floods
as the earth warms up, as it has been, it causes more rain and in return more floods which are wiping out parts of countries all over the world.

Is the Planet’s Carbon Sink Getting Too Full?
the job of the ocean has always been to cool the earth by absorbing CO2. Lately, it has been working especially hard to keep up with all of the CO2 that we release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and such which is causing it to warm. As it warms up, many of the arctic areas are melting including Greenland, the Ice Caps, and the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
My gut reaction to our final topic, global warming, is that i honestly do not care. It bores me for the most part, but i was interested to learn that it is helping the US in that it is warming the oceans and helping prevent major hurricanes from occuring. There might be technical problems in our documentary because many people don’t know how to use cameras and such. Once we get past that, though, i think the main problems we will have will be finding questions and people to interview who actually know what they’re talking about.
