Activities

Review the required reading What's Wrong With the Way We Communicate Climate Change?. Then, submit a discussion post addressing the following:

Imagine you need to talk to a skeptical audience about Climate Change in the town in which you currently reside. Using the framing techniques outlined in the What's Wrong article, provide information on how you would approach the audience and why. How would you approach the topic? How would you make it relate to your audience? What visual aid could you use to help support your talk?

NOTE: keep the content geared to your local town, not the state or country as a whole. The audience is comprised of people that use the same grocery stores, gas stations and parks as you.  

Even though this is a discussion forum post, you are expected to submit academic quality work. Don't just answer the question, provide context, keep the tone formal, and, as always, use resources to support your opinion. Be sure to include a reference list to credit the resources you've used (APA style, link provided in the syllabus)!

Review the Essay and Discussion Forum Posts Grading page (on the course website) and the assignment Rubric so that you know what is expected of you.
