Fact #1

We already know everything we need to know to stop global warming.

Source 1: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99888903
a. Richard Harris. Susan Solomon.
b. Susan Solomon-Graduated from IIT and went to the University of California at Berkley where she earned her PhD. She had an iceberg named after her.
c. Yes this source is credible.
d. This source disagrees with the fact. It says we do not know everything we need to know. It also says global warming is irriversable.
e. Yes.
f. I agree with the source because everything people are saying about how we can stop global warming is wrong according to the source. I also believe that you can never know everything about anything. I agree that the article is right. Just stopping pollution and getting rid of carbon dioxide I don't think will stop global warming. It's something that is going on right now and we cannot just stop it like that.

Source 2: http://www.alternet.org/environment/69178/
a. Bernie Sanders.
b. U.S. Senator from Vermont.
c. No this source is not credible.
d. This source agrees with the fact. Bernie Sanders believes that energy efficiency plays a big role in why global warming is happening. That the energy is why we and the earth is so exposed to so much carbon dioxide.
e. No.
f. I do not agree with this source because I don't believe that he has any idea about what he's talking about. He doesn't have the proper background to be making suggestions about global warming. He's just suggesting ways to change how much energy we use, and oil.

Source 3: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/aug/01/climatechange.carbonemissions
a. Andrew Simms.
b. Author for History.
c. This site is somewhat credible. Only because Andrew Simms knows about the history of the world. But he doesn't know about the science part and that's the part that is not credible.
d. The source says that in over 100 months we will suffer from extreme climate change and that we must act now to avoid it.
e. No.
f. As I said before I don't believe that it's irriversable. Maybe if we stopped now we could avoid it getting any worse but I don't believe we can just stop what is going on.

Reflection

1. I learned about how much was there during the World's Fair. I learned a lot about the olympics and the special olympics that was held for the natives, etc. I learned about the living exhibits they had at the fair. They had Irogots, Asians, Natives, Africans, etc.

2. How did the World's Fair in St. Louis impact the modern world today?

3. It brought us many different cultures.

4. Yes, my final project did answer the question.

5. It answered my question because it showed how many buildings that are still here today at Forrest Park. There are many things we took out of it. For example, ice cream cones, iced tea, hotdogs, etc. We learned a lot about the many cultures back then too. The way they lived, and how they communicated because of the "living exhibits".

6. I did well on the documentary. The finished product.

7. I could've done better with finishing all my daily progress reports and catching up on the work when I could've.

8. Maybe with the documentary I could add a model of the world's fair..not the whole thing just a certain part of it. Like the Palaces.

9. I think that I deserve a B+ =)
