Introduce the IPAT equation, define each factor and discuss how it is used to determine impact on global environments. Discuss the conceptual use of population, affluence and technology to determine impact. Examine the GDP as a way to determine the effect of affluence. Discuss local versus global impacts, and the effect of urban impact.
Unit 6- Synthesis Essay/bias/connoation/ Thesisgof Argument Development / Thesis
Lesson Outline
We reviewed and edited JP's draft of his two source synthesis essay. I pointed out where and how additional textual support enhances the essay, as well as how to create topic sentences that assert a claim rather than simply tell the reader what the source states. Next we worked on how to address the counterargument and how to distinguish the counterargument so that It does not negate the main thesis. Last, I demonstrated a number of transition techniques to employ within paragraphs and between paragraphs. We will work on language connotations tomorrow before drafting a six source synthesis essay.
Today we prepared for our test tomorrow. We covered linear and absolute value equations. We recalled how to set up the absolute value equations so that we can find both possible solutions. We also discussed when we could have extraneous solutions and how to check for those. Next we covered how to solve quadratic equations. We reviewed the square root method, factoring types, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. I showed JPaul which problems he needs to focus on his homework to be prepared for the test tomorrow.
Describe how the equation is used to determine the impact of human lifestyle on the Earth. Discuss the impact in terms of population, affluence, and technology. Describe in detail all three. Discuss the gross domestic product and its affect. Describe and discuss both local and global impacts and and the ecological footprint.
