Putting Meat Into The Matter

Dear Cactus Juice and Marist United,


At the previous meeting, we have discussed how you could approach your respective themes of Earthquakes and Global Cooling.


CACTUS JUICE on DEFENCE AGAINST EARTHQUAKES - The devastating prowess of Earthquakes causes tremendous damage to human cities. Thus there is a pushing need to invent and create ways to soften the effects of earthquakes. The research will be on the various type of Earthquake-proof buildings and how they are believed to prevent the destruction during earthquakes.


MARIST UNITED on GLOBAL COOLING - Global Cooling is a concept first developed in 1975. How has the theory been developed until now? Are scientists still looking for signs of this phenomenon? Are all the recent changes in the Earth evidence of Global Cooling, or do they prove otherwise? The research will be done to answer all the questions as well as the greatest one on our minds : can we prevent Global Cooling from happening?


Right now, you should be sourcing out all the relevant information and compiling them on your blogs. You should be also developing flow diagrams - time-lines or sequence of events - to give your readers a sense of history in what you are doing. Very soon, you will begin to type out the actual full report.


Remember - the final report is to be finished BEFORE the term ends.




Thanks and best regards,
Mr. Kan

Final Product

Dear Marist United & Cactus Juice,

Now is the time to start to think about what you would like to do as your final product for all the research that you have done. Streamline your ideas such that you are only handling one, at most two major themes.

Cactus Juice - The latest update on the effect of the Chile Earthquake is pretty impressive as it shows that earthquakes are not one-off events as previously believed but they may affect the world as a whole. This may be a great angle to work for your final report.

Marist United - No graphics? I'm still waiting for your flow chart and graphics. As again, the website lacks interest and punch with too many words and too little pictures.

Since there is no indication that you would be doing experiments or videos, I am assuming that you would end up with a typed report. More on that later.

Regards,
Mr. Kan
