This project allowed me to think back about what I know about climate change and how I currently feel about it.

This was not just a simple question. It allowed me to dive deep in my memories and develop a solid opinon about the matter instead of being with the general consensus
Claim: Schools do not teach us enough about Climate Change
The fact that schooling is not providing the sufficient education for climate change affects how there are no solid solutions nor motivations happening to solve the climate crisis
My claim is mainly found in the fourth paragraph after I introduce the topic and background. It is also circled back to in the conclusion after proposing a reason and solution.
Evidence
Using description to show vs tell
- I would explain a thought/belief I had and proceed to either show the audience with a story or example.
- This skill was not the easiest for me.
- However, I tried to achieve it as often as I could.
Sources
Another method of showing not telling is proving a point by using sources to back up the claim
After introducing a belief, I would back up my thought process using a piece of information from a source. I would then explain how I connected the dots to reach to my claim.
Structure
Phase 1
To achieve a reader friendly format for my essay, I started off with background about my hometown and its heat to relate to the climate topic. Then, I reminesced on past experiences by telling the audiene of when I first was taught about it.
Background
Phase 2
First time learning
Phase 3
Lastly, I reflected upon that combination of experiences and gave my stance on it, providing a claim that gave the readers a motivation to do something about climate change.
Reflection and Action
hmm u on to somethin
Own Goals
My learning goals for this class consist of: - Developing my scientific writing skills - Getting better at analyzing texts - Broadening my climate change knowledge I aim to enhance all of these skills by reviewing feedback on my essays and fixing them, indulging myself deeper in annotations, and studying more about climate change in 10B. I am already noticing progress in my goals!
I always get scared of these kinds of lines turning out cringey, but if executed well they could really hit the nail on the head.
Calling out b.s shows the ridiculousness of an issue by adding dramatic effect that wakes up the reader
Summary
I really liked when I said:
There was a chunk of a paragraph in mu final draft that I deleted that demostrated this flaw but here is a part of the revision draft that has me blabbering with real purpose that I ended up cutting from the final draft.
Challenges
I would definetely say that shutting myself up when I was adding unnecessary information in paragraphs was one of the top obstacles Also locating a main claim and structuring the essay correctly was a difficult task to overcome To tackle these obstacles, I would review the most crucial points whilst keeping the necessary details that keeps the story alive yet relevant.
Feedback Reflection
- Instructors and Peers generally gave me similar feedbacks which allowed me to realize how badly I needed to fix my essay. - Main critiques revolved around the main claim being blurry - Also, the lack of context surrounding timelines and sources
Final Thoughts
If I had 2 more weeks to perfect my essay, - I would read it multiple times with a clear mind, possibly show it other people to get their critiques. - This would allow me to rethink the structure and aim of my essay in its full length which would make it easier for the reader to digest. - I would additionally like to add more fun lines that bring the reader out of the melancholy but would be used to describe the situation using metaphors and idioms.
Thank you!
