AoW Impressions weak of 2/2

     This week students shared their articles telling a brief description and why it's important to know that information. There were a lot of global warming articles. They were all on different subjects though. Like Stanley's was on how 2014 was the warmest year and the temperatures are slowly rising. The scientists are trying to stop it. Amelia's was about how even though plants and the ocean absorb carbon it doesn't make it carbon-neutral. Steven's article addressed the Sea rise and how the US is in danger because the way the US and the icebergs are positioned the ice should come straight at us.

     There were a lot of other articles too. Like Diego's was about a man who didn't stop being kind and kept on doing something for other people even though he had cancer. Gabe talked about the Yemen water crisis. He explains that they use around 50% of water on quat, popular with the Yemen citizens. Also, that Yemen isn't close to any natural water source making the situation a little bit tougher. Bela's was about South Korean activists dropping notes on North Korea. Making fun of their contained way of living and "showing them the truth". Elenia picked an article showing that domestic/woman violence has decreased and non-violence is spreading. Isabella's is on the UK's new rape laws. Nadrian's is 20 things about travel. One of the 20 things is not to expect paradise/the best things. Athziry chose an article about women in stem fields. She explains that their conditions are bad and the workers are also treated bad.

  1. Wow, so there were actually a lot of global warming articles? I only read one. Anyway, I really liked how in the beginning you said that there were a lot of articles that centered around the same topic, and how you provided some facts along with it. You compared Steven's, Stanley's, and Amelia's articles on their different ideas, and I think that it was really helpful. Overall good job!
