Energy Fluency Project

Dear Honourable George Heyman,

I have been researching about automobile smog and what its affect on the earth including its affect on our health, a solution, and if electric cars are beneficial to decrease air pollution. I have learnt that there are many affects that many people may not know about and how bad car pollution has done to the earth and humans. Although I did learn that EV cars is an alternative for gas running vehicles, its still will cause many problems for the earth and us people. Many people can start to make a difference right now by taking public transit, biking, walking, or carpooling to your destination. it will reduce the amount of cars on the road creating less exhaustion in the air. Lastly, auto mobile smog will cause many problem to our health. If we continue to ruin the earth, we will also ruin ourselves such as heart and lung disease. I believe that we need to act fast by using alternatives before its too late and hope that we can all contribute to create a healthier future.

 

 

1) What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway? 

ASK

Questions I needed to research in order to create my sway was to ask specific questions such as

  • What does car pollution do to our health?
  • What are solutions to reduce automobile smog?
  • Are electric cars better?

2) What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?

ACQUIRE

Some new digital tools I tried to use was Sway and Gale Engage. Ive never used sway before and it was pretty easy to use but for Gale Engage it was kind of tricky to find exactly what you were looking for.

3) What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?

ANALYZE

The process I used to investigate the topic was to read up on Gale Engaged because it is a trusted website and a lot of the facts are true. How I verify and cite the information was to scroll to the bottom of the article and then copy and paste the MLA citation into a separate word doc so I can put it into alphabetical order at the end.

4) How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better

ASSESS

The process of completing this challenge was difficult because I didn’t have good start since I was very new to using both Gale Engage and Sway so it was challenging to read up on information that I could use in my Sway. What I could’ve done better was to try harder to read more information because it was hard for me to find but if I spent a little more time maybe I could’ve wrote more.
