Home work for the 6pm English 1 class... this due on Monday 2/10

Below is your home work for the weekend. All of it is related to your Essay #1. So it is crucial you do this HW so that you are making progress on the essay....Many of you already DID some of this HW earlier in the semester. If that is the case, then simply go back to what you wrote to make it longer, and to insert quotes, etc. (Start to make it look like an essay.... )

1. Pls read these articles and type up your answers these questions
A. What is "climate silence"? (2-3 paragraphs)
B. What is your own attitude about talking about climate issues? How often do you do it? Who do you talk to? IF you do NOT talk to people about climate issues, why dont you? (3 paragraphs)

2. Pls watch this excellent documentary about oil, and do these assignments:
A. What are 3 consequences of burning all this oil? (3 paragraphs) 

3. When did you first realize that nature/environment/climate were important issues? What do you remember about being a child and interacting with Nature?  (pls write 2 FULL paragraphs...NOT just a sentence or two)​

4. In addition, you need to start reading the book.  "The End of Ice."

 Please read the Introduction, and Chapter 1 and 2. (pages 1 to 51.)
For the Introduction,  and Chapter 1 please answer this question: Why does the author start with the story of almost dying in the glacier?
For Chapter 2  please answer these 2 questions: What does the title of the chapter mean? What is the problem with "Time becoming unfrozen."
For each question you should do a paragraph of writing. As you are writing and reading, be thinking about how the ideas in the book can be used in our #1 essay.
