Visual Arguments: Teams and Topics

Remember, each team will need to develop a specific claim or thesis about their topic; for example, polar ice cap melt could cause many devastating effects to land and species, or worldwide droughts are descreasing food supplies to humans and animals, or Because insects' life/mating cycles are tied to climate, diseases are increasing and ecosystems are changing with global warming. Use your research to shape your thesis. Your thesis will help guide your selection of evidence in your PowerPoint.

GW's effects on tropical storms (hurricanes, typhoons): Matt, Dave, Sofia

GW's impact on ocean life (specifically coral reefs): Dawn, Emma, Carol

GW's impact on animals (specifically Artic species): Jessica, Victoria, Kristina

The impact of GW on the PNW (present and future): Erica, Ariel, Lester
