Starter:  Complete page 1 of this document to fill me in on what you know about climate change (10 minutes)

​Agenda
1.  In partners, discuss the graphs above:  Interpret the two images above.  What does the data reveal at the surface level? What global implications does this data have for future energy policy decisions OR what explanations can you come up with for the data? (5 minutes)

2. Now read THIS ARTICLE and  complete page 2 of the document you began for our starter! (15 minutes)

3. Personal Philosophy Work Time! (1 hour and 15 minutes)

• Sign up for a conference with Ashley
• Work on your project.

CRITIQUE - Find a group of 3-4 students and on the whiteboard, write your critique group members' names.  Then, write which day each person will get their project idea critiqued (either today or tomorrow).  THEN, get to critiquing using these critique guidelines:
CRITIQUE GUIDELINES
1. Get into groups of 3-4 
2. Explain your project to the critiquers
3. As a group, discuss the following four prompts:

• What is the main idea/message the artist seems to be trying to express in the piece? 
• How does it connect to class concepts/texts? 
• What's the best thing about this project?
• What feedback does your group have for refinement? (How could it be more beautiful? How could it better represent the idea(s) you're trying to express? Does it need to be tied more clearly to one of the texts we read/watched, etc...?  Does it represent this person's authentic self?)
