What language is used to describe the flood/fire/hurricane/drought/ storm/refugee crisis/new technologies and economies/environmental activism/the food industry/changing cultural traditions, etc., as they relate the agency of the environment? Then, follow up your presentation by posing the questions it raises to the class.

Identify where you'd like your piece to appear and why you've selected that venue as a preliminary note; then lay out whatever argument you would like to present regarding climate change and related social and environmental issues.). *You will be evaluated on the persuasiveness of your argument, your presentation of evidence to support it, and the clarity of your writing.
