  1. HONR 229L: Climate Change: Science, Economics, and Governance Easter Island Your name here 7 September 2016

  2. Please address using bulleted phrases, organized as you see fit, the main points Jared Diamond conveyed about Easter Island in this chapter In other words, what was the chapter about ! Feel free to use illustrations, either from the book, included here for convenience or from another source. If from another source, please use proper attribution Do your best to engage the class in a discussion, which you will lead! We are not asking you to stand up and speak to the audience for a straight 45 min segment … rather, we are asking you to lead a discussion 

  3. Please address using bulleted phrases, organized as you see fit, something new you learned upon reading this chapter. Be specific if you can … i.e., nearly all of us have heard of Easter Island, but what about Easter Island was new to you upon reading this chapter

  4. Try to describe something stated in this chapter that you might challenge, should you for instance be on a debate about Easter Island and the chapter you have just read is the opening argument from the other side. I know this will be hard for some … but one of the goals of this class is to encourage critical thought, even regarding a chapter written by an esteemed Pulitzer Prize winning author. If I did not have high regard for Jared Diamond, we would not be using his book in this class. But no one’s scholarly work, even that of Jared Diamond, is beyond reproach. This part of the presentation should be especially ripe for discussion!

  5. Finally, describe how the history of the Easter Island may be applicable to the situation faced by the world’s population may face, with respect to global warming.

  6. Feel free to alter, ad lib, change in any way provided the topic is Easter Island and the material mainly draws upon the reading. Use the maps and figures as you see fit. If you don’t use, you are welcome to delete from the PPT file you provide.
