Directions:   Using the group presenations and your own research, write a formal essay (introduction, body, conclusion) based on the four questions listed below.  Space has been provided for you to write a few notes during the group presentations for each question.  You may also use the back of this worksheet.  The essay must be completed to recieve full credit for the project.  Only essays posted to the class blog will be accepted.

Your essay must address the following questions:

First - Would you have been able to survive the time period your group was assigned?  Explain in detail why or why not.





Second - Do you think it is possible for Earth to have another ice age?  What evidence do you have (from your group's research or other group's presentations) to support your answer?





Third - Do you think there will be new continents in the Earth's future?  Support your answer with findings from the class presentations.





Last - Do you believe that humans can survive our planet's changing environment in the long term?  what will humans have to do to be able to succeed and flourish in the future?  What do you believe will be  in store for us in the future?  Use evidence from the presentations to help support your answer.
