2-11-2011-Hi. Today I made a poster about climate change. At E.L.P. we had to make two posters. We finished the first poster, but we all needed to do the other one individually at home. Our words were climate change and global warming. The people in my group are Eve, Me, and Willow.

3-11-2011-I didn't have any homework today. No homework for any other classes either (Yippie!!). So I got to get ice-cream today and I had to stay after school to work on a social studies project. I kinda think that we're going to get an A+. We're working really hard. The people in my group for social studies are Aubrey, Taylor, and Kaitelynn. I learned today in E.L.P. today is that there are a lot of reasons why global warming is being caused. Like using an air conditioner.

=Task=

-Go on any of the links on step 4 and write a paragraph if I think global warming is real or not.

=Task report=

Scientists predicted that there was global warming. Is it real? Scientists use methods like looking at tree's rings to determine what it was like before global warming. If a tree's rings are thick, then it was warm and damp back then. the opposite happened when the tree's rings are thin. Another method was taking sand from bottoms of the oceans and seeing is there are any signs of what the temparature was like back then. the last method is where scientists drill a hole in polar ice caps and see if there are any gases that are trapped in the ice.

Some things that could happen if we don't stop global warming are threatining to cultures and health to us humans. Some cities and towns could flood overtime. Global warming is causing flooding, increasing disease, less tourism, reduced crops, and many, many other things that could negatively impact ouur life today.

Today, global warming is causing many signs of itself. Like the polar reigons melting. And the rise of temparatures in the polar reigons twice the times of the continents in between.

So we were put in groups to discuss some stuff about global warming. I feel the same but I learned a little more from listening to new facts that I have not discovered yet. One of my partners thought that global warming was mostly nature's fault, but I wasn't convinced. The only thing nature is doing is that the carbon dioxide is trapping more and more heat each day. But I totally respect my partner's opinion. I thought it was more our fault because WE created all these machenes, and WE dug and burned fossil fuels for cars and industrial reasons. WE cut down forests and burn the wood. WE even use machenes that burn fossil fuels like cars, just to cut down the trees. This global warming thing IS ALL OUR FAULT. WE ARE DAMAGING THE NORMAL NATURE CYCLES WITH OUR MACHINES. WE UNBALANCED NATURE. WE HAVE TO FIX THIS. AND WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.

11-8-11-ITBS today. Also, today I researched more about global warming, and I had to choose one reason on global warming for what's causing it, and I choose transportation. Like cars, planes, trains, exc. exc. exc.

11-9-11-Today I worked on my powerpoint for ELP. I also typed up a little script for me to use so that I can remember what I'll say.
