Part 2: Whiteboard (10 min) What evidence have you found that is most convincing about climate change and why? Which videos had the most evidence--the skeptics or the believers? When you don't have evidence, why would people believe someone?
These questions on the whiteboard are related to the first part of climate change thought--is there something going in our world that is not caused by total natural forces. We are going to explore this for one more day by looking at the resources below. Take notes as needed between now and 12:50. Then you and your group will be writing a reflection so we can put it on our blog on Monday
This site is very rich, with hundreds of links to stories. Your group should be able to write the title of one story from five of the tabs and a 2 sentence summary for each
Please go through all of this activity and write a 2 paragraph summary
From 12:50 to 1:15, you and your group will be writing over the following questions. You can do this as a Google doc that you share with me and Christine. You can talk among yourselves and have a group typist. The point of this post is to think about where you are now.
1. Which of the videos you saw on the first day of this unit (the six videos you picked from youtube) was most convincing to you when you first watched it? Before you looked at evidence? Perhaps you didn't' believe in climate change, perhaps you looked for some natural cause. Whatever it is, its ok.
Claim: I think that....
Reasoning: because
2. Once we started looking at evidence, what became different about your experience? Was one piece of evidence enough, did you need multiple pieces of evidence, or do you still need more evidence before you make a decision on whether climate change is real?
Claim: I believe that ...
Evidence: Because the evidence tells me....
Reasoning: So now I think....
3. How did the interactive tools we used above help you think of new questions?
Claim: I have questions about.....
Evidence: Because of the evidence I found in....
Reasoning: So now I wonder if....
