How is glacial melting affecting penguins in Antarctica?
Now, this question does require more depth of thought. The first thing that I notice is that it needs more than a simple, "yes" or "no" response. The student must really dig deep into the topic to describe how this is happening. The first issue for me, is that the student must really prove that glacial melting is, in fact, affecting the penguins. There are some who would argue that glacial melting is not affecting the penguins and that global warming is not a problem. Research would have to be done in order to first prove that it has become a problem. From there, the student could go on to describe how penguins directly are affected. Some of the research may include all wildlife in general, but the student would be expected to look more specifically at how pengins are affected. Students may ask, Is glacial melting really a problem? Are penguins really affected and how? What are the effects on the habitat? Is this a result of global warning?
