Heating Up

By now you have commented on each other's posts demonstrating your proficiency in blogging skills: posts, comments, links, etc. Now we will be moving further into the topic: the consequences of global warming and your and others' opinions as well as technical challenges.

You will view the film, An Inconvenient Truth, and make two posts. The first post is a summary of the movie similar to the reading summaries which should include introductory and concluding paragraphs. However, it should not include any statements of opinion!

Your analysis and opinion should be covered in the second post where you address what you think of the film's effectiveness at addressing the topic of global warming/local solutions. You should cite facts, references and solutions from the film as examples to support your points as well as two other sources (Check the assignment description under blog entries and requirements). Again include an introduction and conclusion to your post.

Check the task requirements (entries link) for word length for both posts. An opinion interview using Voice Thread technology will be completed next week. Check out www. Voicethread.com and keep on blogging!
