Use this organizer to answer questions and keep track of the research you perform for the Close Reading exercise. It will be a big help when
you need to review your research as you progress through the Close Reading activities in lessons 5, 9, 16, and 21.
You will be asked to upload this file when you submit your Close Reading work to your instructor in Lesson 21.
In lessons 9 and 16, you’ll record your opinions and research below. In Lesson 16, you’ll use your research as support for your
personal arguments as you write the first draft of your essay on global warming. Then, in Lesson 21, you’ll finalize your essay and
submit it to your instructor along with this document.
Opinions
Did you have initial opinions on global warming before you read the assigned article? Now that you have read the article twice, has
the article affected your opinion(s) about global warming? Perhaps your opinions have been solidified, altered, or put in doubt. If so,
think about what parts of the article affected your opinion and why. If your opinions are unchanged, think about why that is so.
Now, complete the first two columns of the following table. Then, proceed to the next page, where you’ll begin your research.
Following are my opinions on global warming:
before I read the article
after I read the article twice (lesson 9)
after I performed my research (lesson 9)

Research
Now that you’ve organized your thoughts on climate change, it’s time to find more information on this subject. Be sure to select at least two
resources that support the mathematical data presented in the assigned article, and at least two resources that contradict or cast doubt on the
data in the article. Choose material from at least three of the following types of scientific media: journals, magazines, websites, books,
videos/podcasts, blogs, or other credible, authoritative formats.
Here are some questions to think about as you perform your research. You do not need to submit answers to these questions, but they may
help guide your research. Your responses to these questions could help form the final opinions you’ll use to write your first-draft essay
(Lesson 16) and final-draft essay (Lesson 21).
Do I think climate change exists?
What type(s) of new information might affect my opinions about climate change?
Are there respected scientists on both sides of the argument?
What are the credentials of these scientists?
What facts do both sides of the argument rely upon?
Which side of the argument appears to be more reasonable or logical? Why?
Complete the Research Resources table that begins on the next page based on the headings for each column, which are as follows:
1. Resource: Provide the author, name of article, date of publication, type of media (Web, for example), and URL, if applicable.
2. State whether each resource is “In Support Of,” “Contrary To,” or “Neutral Toward” the belief that the world’s climate is increasing.
3. Assess whether the author provides sufficient reasoning and substantiation to support their claims or opinions, and provide specific
examples.
4. Provide a brief summary of the article for your reference.
Note: The first row of the table has been filled in with an example resource.

global warming).

In Support Of
The author attempts to dispel some of
the main arguments against global
warming, noting that “a pattern is a
pattern no matter how short.” (p. 3)
Numerous well-respected scientists
use technical language to describe 10
reasons that global warming should
be taken seriously. (p. 9-15)
The author states that if humans take
a close look at the data supporting
global warming, there is only one
sensible conclusion they can come to:
it exists.
