My topic is climate change, I became interested in this topic a couple years back when I started noticing that there was warm weather at times it was supposed to be cold weather season. Even these days we have warm weather even though we are in November already. Also, a lot of people do not have knowledge about climate change because it isn’t taught in school and if it is it is to a certain extent; not enough content is taught. This inspired me to write about this topic because I believe a lot more people around the world should be more educated about climate change. I picked to next generation as my audience because I feel like they are the most important audience because they are able to take actions in order to slow down global warming. Maybe today’s society could be a good audience, but a lot are oblivious to what is happening around the world. I chose a magazine as my genre because I believe that is something that will catch my audience attention, also I would like to show pictures of the effect of climate change for those that are oblivious to what is happening to our planet. Photo magazines like Teen Vogue, easily catches the younger generation because of the pictures it uses also the topics are usually not the same as you would see in a regular magazine for adults or newspapers. The purpose of my piece is to convince my audience that climate change is a real thing by showing them what is causing global warming. I like how my paper is going so far because it is something that will be clear to the audience. What I would’ve done differently is my genre, I would’ve changed it to a social media post because almost everyone is on social media and that is the easiest and most successful way to get the next generations attention.
REVIEWERS MEMO:
I wrote this piece because I want people to become more aware of what is going around the world when it comes to the weather conditions. Climate change is not only destroying humans’ homes, but it is also destroying many animals’ homes. What I think I need help with is putting all my information into one page because I am using Teen Vogue as a reference and their topics are one page also adding photos to get the audience to understand more what I’m trying to portray. I’m proud of how my paper is coming together even though I am struggling a bit I believe it will be in a format that the reader is able to understand.
Hey I love the topic of climate change ! You have a great point on when you mention by the way the quote I am stating “Also, a lot of people do not have knowledge about climate change because it isn’t taught in school and if it is it is to a certain extent; not enough content is taught.”stands out to me the most . I agree with you the only time I ever heard about climate and enviornment itself was in U.S History Class . Her name was Rachel Carlson she was concerned about chemical usages . To add on I feel that all of us should gain more knowledge of climate change because it is important for our future and present. I wanted to know more about how you are planning to do your piece ! Are you going to add images , talk about how climate change has imapcted the world , Court Cases .. etc
Hey! I liked how you said” Climate change is not only affecting a lot of people’s homes but it also affecting a lot of animals homes.” Its shocking and devastating to see such tragedies and thats why I think your topic is an excellent one.
