Please enjoy the time with family and friends and food.
Also, read: "Hot Enough for You?" by Jerry Adler in Smithsonian Magazine , May 2014. Here is the link to the article. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/reality-hotter-world-already-here-180951172/
This article is about Phoenix.
A. Before you read the article, write a personal experience paragraph or two about summer in the Phoenix area. Think about the heat. What is it like to spend time outside in July or August when the thermometer climbs to 120 degrees? What do you do to endure and possibly enjoy the heat? Describe a typical day for you.
B. Read the article. Make a bulleted list of the 10 most interesting or important bits of information you discovered in the article.
C. Write a brief paragraph and agree or disagree with the author's thesis. Is the "climate apocalypse"upon us?
