Inconvenient Truth summary blog post - Week #5

Heating Up

By now you have presented your blogs to the class 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 other’s opinions, as well as more technology challenges.

You will view the film, 'An Inconvenient Truth', and make two posts due this week and next. 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. Again, include an introduction and conclusion to your post.

Check the task requirements (blog exercise link) for word length for both tasks. An opinion interview using ‘VoiceThread’ technology will be completed next week before the reading summary week. You may want to get more information at www. Voicethread.com and read up about the task requirements for An Inconvenient Truth.

Have a good week, see you Monday in the library, and keep on blogging!
