Climate Change and Persuasive Reasoning

Day 1:

Pick the five most persuasive arguments you see from your own sheets or the arguments of someone else.  You may use science, political, religious, or economic arguments.  Then, create a persuasive product (poster, power point, paper, ppt, video, song, etc.) that details your position and your argument.  This is due at the beginning of the class tomorrow.

 Day 2:

An argument is only persuasive if you can find evidence for it.  Throughout your arguments, look for specific EVIDENCE, listing the URL source and why you believe it is effective support for your argument. 

URL values:  a national organization focused on science, like TED, NASA, NAP, or AAAS (10 points)
A political or economic think tank's data (5 points)
A national religious organization viewpoint (5 points)
A private organization that supports a viewpoint (e.g., Pheasant's Forever) (4 points)
A blog (2 points)
