Teaching Al Gore
Is anyone planning to take your summer students to see An Inconvenient Truth? I'm thinking of taking mine in a week or two. If anyone else is thinking about this, let me know. Or maybe people who have seen the movie might have ideas for good class discussions that can be prompted by the movie. I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not sure how I'll use it, but I'm going to try to work it in with some readings on the environment from Good Reasons. And Rodney's earlier post certainly provides some good ideas for discussing art vs. science and how we can determine the truth.

An Inconvenient Truth could also work really well in 306 with the new "controversy" model. If you're looking for some supplemental resources about the film, check out the "algore" tag at del.icio.us. This is a great list of links about gore, the film, and the debate about global warming:
