Review of Students ask each other if global warming is realWhat got me about this piece was that it was educational, yet entertaining. As a high school student, I shun anything educational unless it's presented in an entertaining form. This is Shana's piece, entertaining and educational. It starts with upbeat music and then gets into a humorous "green greeting". The speaker has a good pacing with her narration, not too slow or fast, enough to make you stay interested and entertained. This piece would be perfect for a science class as an example of how students can help the environment. |

More of the same
This piece has great potential but unfortunately the creators of it put all their effort in the wrong places. This is about the opinion of the people that will most likely be dealing with the worst of climate change, the youth. It mainly consists of an audio montage of the youth discussing what they think or do about global warming. The biggest issue I have with this piece is that it feels like more of the same, I didn’t come out with more knowledge than I did before. The people talking are opinions that I have heard from my peers before and the solutions to climate change are ones I could find on the back of a cereal box. Many of the youth discussed how they know that they should be doing more but they don’t. I thought that the interviewers should have asked why this was and gone deeper into this complex that even I have. They should have tried to find someone that flat out did not believe in global warming and ask why. I understand that it would be hard to find this if the interviewee knew who the interviewers were as they could easily change their opinion to what the interviewers want to hear. Maybe make the environmental ideas fresh and more directed towards young people. This is a solid piece but it could go for a dose of originality.
