Carnell and Price, in review

1. What hook does the author use to capture your attention?

Carnell and Price created a fun story that really intrigued me. My group and I are going to adapt the story idea in which the narrative follows kids in a museum that go through all the controversial aspects of T. Rex.

2. How could you adapt this hook in your own case study?

As mentioned above my group and I will be using a narrative with a museum theme. I think this will draw our audience in because it will be a comprehensible yet fun reading.

3. I completed Activity 2 Global Warming:
- For changes in average temperature, I added all the magnitudes of change of each of the ten cities listed, then divided that number by 10 (10 cities listed) to get the overall average temperature: 1.1 F
- Climate is the average, long-term weather of a particular region. For instance, deserts are known to be dry and hot.
-Weather is the day-to-day atmospheric activity of a place, such as rain to sunshine during a week in Seattle.
-Weather conditions that range from hot to cold throughout regions is considered Climate Variability.
-When climates throughout the globe change in temperature, such as cold regions becoming warm while hot regions decrease in temperature, this can be identified as Global Climate Change.
-Global cooling is the overall decrease in surface temperature of the Earth.
-On the other end, Global Warming is the overall increase in surface temperature of the Earth.

4. How is the case study a model for the one you are writing? What do you want to emulate? What do you want to change?

The case study is a significant model for my group because we want to do a story that travels through each chapter while staying interrelated. The challenge for us is what order we want to place the chapters, while maintaining that "hook." We do not need to make changes, thus far, because we have not yet formulated the story. We will have a meeting next week to discuss our narrative, etc.
