As an introduction to our segment, we are using the visual metaphor. The visual metaphor consists of a person walking across an Abercrombie and Fitch bag with muddy shoes showing how people are effecting the Earth by helping promote global warming.
As for our conclusion, we are still working on it, cause we don’t know if it has to wrap up the documentary, the segment, or if we are concluding our segment and moving into the next segment.
Thesis Statement: Due to the many changes in the environment and society caused global warming as well as the characteristics leading to global warming, people should be educated on what global warming is, how it is caused, how it effects us a society on Earth, and what we can do as human beings to help us in the future if global warming continues.
I believe this is a strong thesis because it addresses the audience on the topic as well as the different segments and topics covered in the documentary. I do believe this statement can be stronger because it is very repetitive in using the same words and the segments are straight out listed causing the thesis to seem weak. This is a good start though to what may become a stronger thesis if used.
So Last Thursday, May 1st, our classs got the oppurtunity to film more footage for the documentary where we got to interview and film random people on the streets. We asked them questions pertaining to our segment and got great footage that would be useful to our documentary.
We interviewed 4 people out of dozens that afternoon. It was really getting a person that would take some time to answer a few questions. It was also a small area to share with 4 other groups so other people were also interviewed by the others.
A lot of the interviews had variety with answer, but many people also talked about how the weather was mostly affected by global warming. One person even denied that global warming was occuring because it was all due to our history of are planet and how we as people were changing the environment.
1. It would show smashing and tearing of items that represent our environment. The smashing and tearing would come from what is causing global warming.
2. It would show a butterfly flying freely representing “today’s environment” and then a slide saying “this is our due to global warming” and a slowly dying butterfly.
3. Hairspray released in the environment, smoking, car emishions for air polluction.
4. Land development, land fills, destroying natural resources and wasting land space.
5. A plastic cup representing the ozone layer and a person smahing it to represent how were affecting it.
I think #1 is the most effective because it shows how even the smallest things can cause a change in our life.
What are the short and long term effects of global warming?
What kind of effects does global warming having on our generation?
How do we effect global warming?
How has global warming had an influence on our daily lives? Our planet?
How do you think global warming will affect our children and our future generations
How has global warming had an effect on your life?
How often do you think about climate change? Have you changed any of your behavior due to climate change?
1. I have learned that everyone and everything is affected by global warming. People and animals are like a chain, if one thing is effected by something happen, it may have an effect on something.. Plants are dependent on people as we are dependent on plants.
2. What surprised was that trying to find ways to prevent global warming may not be the only solution to our problems. Some evidence shows that global warming may be helping us to prevent natural disasters. This showed me that there is more then one angle that we can take the “Prevention segment” as. We can take it as simple things we can do to help against global warming as well as we don’t have anything to worry about since global warming can be helping the environent.
3. I think the focus of our segment should be the impact that global warming may have on us and the future. We should show how it’s affecting us now as well as in the long run. It should vary from how its hurting animals, the ozone layer, and the ice caps, to what may happen in the future if it continues.
4. Some further research we may need is the good effects of global warming today. Though I have only heard of negative effects of global warming, but there is always a good side to everything.
5. There are things that other segments can use some things that Causes of Global Warming can use is the information on what is causing global warming and how it is effecting people.
