DESCRIPTION
With this project, partners created art pieces that would help spread the message about the effects of climate change. We needed to create a work that was educational in the form of a video, poster and diorama, comic book, or animation. My partner and I wrote a storyboard and drew out a comic book for children. We were required to use recycled materials or materials already in the classroom to avoid using new materials that created waste.
My partner and I wrote a story about a green sea turtle named Herb. We highlighted human’s effects on the Great Barrier Reef and included some of our research in the story.
CONCEPTS
Anthropogenic- human caused activity
Coral Bleaching- occurs when coral expels it’s algae
Global Warming- the gradual increase in temperature of the globe
Greenhouse Gas- gases that trap heat in the atmosphere
Ocean Acidification- ocean becomes more acidic and harms life
Albedo- reflectivity of a surface

REFLECTION
My partner and I worked well together and did not have conflict. Developing the story was easy and we communicated with the peers when we needed help. We collaborated and solved problems as they came up, like when we needed to search the campus for extra cardboard we could use. We had some difficulties with managing time but were able to work together outside of class to finish the project before presentations. Our biggest struggle was with making sure we had time for each step, but overall had a successful project.
