Process Journal December 17

Today I did some more research on WWF's official page on polar bears. I also started my design brief essay and wrote my information about polar bears. I did research because I will need that later when I'm filming my infomercial. I did the design brief because this will help me to outline my video and I can state exactly what I'm doing. This will also help me organize and summarize my information. I think it was interesting reading about polar bears and I learned a lot. Next after the design brief I think I'll start designing my final project.

Today I worked on Criterion A) Investigate. I decided what topic I'm working on for the Infomercial for the Planet. I'm concentrating on Global Warming's effect on the Arctic Poles and Polar bears. When the ice in the arctic poles melts what will happen to animals who need ice especially Polar bears? I also started my research today. I found a site with an article from The Sunday Times in the UK. The article is called Polar bears drown as ice shelf melts. It's about the effect of melting ice on Polar bear habitats.
I did this because I'm interested in how Polar bears are affected by Global Warming. I think it will be fun to make a movie on this topic. I did reaserch because I might need that information when I'm filming my infomercial.

Today we watched a video about Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect. It contained very detailed explanations of how the Global Warming works and evidence of the process. These are some facts I learned:
- Global Warming has caused sea levels to rise, heat waves, severe droughts, melting ice and snow, change in precipitation patterns and the climate generally.
- Seasons have become unsettled and the increase in warm temperatures can cause deadly disease epidemics like the West Nile disease.
- Sea level and temperature rise can cause terrible natural disasters.
- People are spreading nitrogen in the air which disturbs the supplying of oxygen by trees.
2 things we can do to be ready for Global Warming:
1. We can start preparing for climate change.
2. We can reduce our carbon dioxide wastes and save energy.
I think we watched this movie so that we get into more depth on the effects of Global Warming. This document was also very current and explaining what's happening in the world right now. We learned a lot more facts and examples from this video that we had no idea from before. Now we have a wide range of knowledge about the Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming. We can use this information in our final project video. I liked to watch the movie. It was interesting to learn even more about Global Warming. I feel like it was rewarding because now I know a lot more. Next we will use our understanding in the final project.

Avril Lavigne's break up

Ok this week Im writing in english as u can see. nothing special going on this week except that it was AIDS day on tuesday and Im likely going skiing on saturday with Justine :P.

Ive been wanting to comment on a very sad event for a long time now. Avril Lavigne's break up with Deryck Whibley. Or I don't know if its sad 4 u guys and it certainly isnt sad for Avril...shes been partying ever since or so I heard. But I just wan't 2 say a couple of things.
1. Don't get married if your gonna break up after 3 years.
2. If you get married stay together whatever happens.

Of course people break up all the time in Hollywood but Avril are u breaking up or divorcing? Coz they mean completely different things. But Avril I am very sorry 4 u and I really hope u don't dump Deryck completely. I know there's some love 4 him left in u. Don't do something ull regret later. Im a huge fan of u and "just concentrate on doing what u love which is singing your crappy heart out"(from Hannah Montana the Movie). I can't wait 4 ur new album!!! I heard that its more emotional and I really wish that itll be. Because u Avril really can capture peoples hearts if u pour ur own heart into it!!! Im looking forward for that!

ps. Ill be writing in english every other week and every other finnish.
