Read the article at least twice, the first time to get a feel for the general thrust (e.g., major points, and supportive evidence) and the second time very carefully for the details.

Write a one page, single-spaced, essay about the article. Use the "View header footer" function of Word to insert your name and data. Use the first paragraph for a summary of the article. Explain the contents of the article at a level that would be understood by a high school graduate. Use the second paragraph for an expansion on the thesis of global warming as applied to invertebrates other than the malarial parasite. Think of a local/regional environment with its fauna. Describe how you think global warming might affect a member/s of that community. Focus in on topics we have discussed during the course of the semester (predator-prey relationships, symbiotic relationships, respiration, excretion, and sensory biology) and explore how local/regional climate changes might have an affect on one or more of those relationships/processes.

Explore the Internet to see if you can come up with specific information on the effects of global warming on invertebrates. If you find suitable sources, copy the URL to an e-mail addressed to me and send it to me before Friday. On Friday we will look at some of these sites. Also, be prepared to discuss your interpretation of the article with you classmates. We may split into two parts and debate the question, so be prepared. Global warming may not be bad for everything.
