Background Research.

How do people cope with Global Warming?


Developing the question.

Getting my background research right.


Great so I knew already that Global Warming is going to cause problems such as rising sea levels, hotter weather, drought, diseases in plants animals and people.  So just to make sure I did a little research on line, there may be some impacts that I did not know about.

So this is how I did it.  I went to Google and searched for impacts  global warming.  As you can see Google guessed what I was looking for and suggested some alternatives.




I then wanted to narrow my results using the Advanced settings Gear Icon.  You can see that I wanted the reading level displayed, sites from just one country (.hk), within the last year. 

 I also used the News search function to and the map tab.  I thought this would be a good way to search for websites from around the world. 



As I found good websites I saved the bookmarks in Diigo in a shared group so my team can look at them as well.  I thought carefully about the tags and used the description box.
