project 3

Alex Roche


For project three I confronted the topic global warming. I have a newly found passion for helping the environment and feel it is necessary that everyone in all societies across the world receive education about the horrid truths, that are affecting our entire planet. Through project three, I will help fifth graders grasp a small understanding of what things they can personally do to help save the environment. I have a firm belief that it only takes one person to make a giant difference in the world.
In projects one and two I would have to print many pieces of paper and it felt like I was literally chopping down a tree which was the inspiration for project three to be completely different then the previous assignments. Project three was no longer wasting paper because the entire project is paperless through the establishment of a blog. I used my blog website to post my research paper, from project two. This research paper is well thought-out and targeted towards people in academia. Along with the paper, I attached three letters that address various issues in global warming and asks the respective organization, what I can personally do to make a difference. I feel it is very important for the public to read the letters so the public can see that people like me are trying to raise awareness and make changes. While constructing project three, I decided to construct a board game instead of a fable. I felt kids would be more encouraged to play a board game then read a book. Also, if children enjoy the game, then they will get constant exposure to global warming everytime they play the game.
My goal of project three was to establish ways of affectively getting information to adults and children. Adults can view my blog and acquire useful information on the environment. Hopefully, my paper can help persuade the reader into believing that global warming does exist. When attempting to address fifth graders I decided a boring academic paper would be wasteful and not inspire children to make changes. With the board game I accomplished my goal of getting important information about global warming to fifth graders in a fun manor. With adults and children now becoming aware of global warming it is only a matter of time before people start demanding changes to better their environment.
