You’ve also read about how students in Norway coopered to help save a rain forest in Costa Rica. Elections have a lot of competition, but the election this year will soon be over, and those who are elected will have to cooperate to get things done, what should they be working on? What would you like the mayor of our city, or the president of our country to work on? Please write three sentences.

The Real Threat

Changing World

Please answer these questions:

  1. Why do you think the adults who made these ads used children?
  2. Would these ads be the same without children?
  3. Are they make a factual appeal (an argument based on facts), or emotion?
