For Politics it would be the issues of what to do about Global Warming when it takes effect and because of the threats it poses, politics would be going crazy.

3. Global Climate Changes could have an increasing effect on U.S. strategic interests and will likely pose a serious threat to America's national security.

 2.  Global Warming will have effects on many things that would all affect the health of humans and animal life, and other types of ecosystems. A big addition to Global Warming is industrial gases like Fluorine, chlorine, and Bromine, which are considered things called green house gases. These green house gases also help destroy the Ozone Layer.

3. The mother Earth lives and breathes with us. Its flora and fauna sub serve the human beings who are all part of the great Eco system. By disregarding her needs and laws of nature since long, we have all put our planet to a state of predicament and jeopardy.

Gregory's Exhibition Project

    
    1. My Next action entering into the day was to complete the project prospectus and start doing some research.

   2. Today I completed the project prospectus and posted it on my blog. I also started doing some research and was able to post two pieces of research on my delicious account.

  4. My next action is to do more research and post it on my delicious account. 

Gregory's blog for exhibition project

      
      Product Prospectus

     1. The Research Question.  Does Global Warming pose a deadly threat to mankind?

    2.  A description of the form which the final product will take.  I will use Google Earth. It can show the effects that have already taken place, the effects that it will have in the future, and many other things. 

    3. A justification of that form (Why choose this particular form?) I decided on choosing Google Earth because it can show things that I mentioned in #2. Those things that Google Earth can provide would be perfect to help do a project on Global Warming.

  4. A definition of the finished product.  It will be computer animation.

  5. A justification of how the finished product demonstrates mastery. The project will answer my research question because computer animation is a visual explanation in my mind and visual explanations give me a better understanding of things like my research question.

  6. A task breakdown/work flow for the project. My flow of how the project will be completed will be in the following steps. Step 1. finish the rest of this prospectus. Step 2. do research. Step 3. Post a Daily progress post on my blog. Step 4. finish all the research. Step 5.  post the required number of research index cards on my delicious account. Step 6. make a plan for the final production. Step 7. Start to create the production. Step 8. prepare for an in class presentation. Step 9. prepare and put the final touches on the project ( if any final touches need to be made) for exhibition night. Step 10. post a reflection on my blog after exhibition night.

  7.  The next actions for my project will be the steps typed on #6.
