Polar Problems

Learning Reflections

 

Presentation Research

Project: We have been asked to create a presentation as part of International Polar Year. We must prepare a brief (approximately 5 minute) presentation to persuade the countries of the United Nations of the interconnectedness of changes in the polar environments, their respective community, and the global community.

 

Learning Goals

Use the writing process to gather ideas, draft information, revise for clarity, edit for readability, and publish for persuasion.

 

Understand how life adapts to live in the Arctic. Understand what affects life in the Arctic.  Anaylze the connection of those effects on the Arctic, our community, and in the world.
