A. Evaluating Responses to CAT 2
You will have 40 minutes to evaluate two responses to the CAT 2
B. Writing Blog 11: Manufactured Demand
You will have 1 hour and twenty minutes to watch and compose a multi-paragraph 250+ word blog entry on ONE myth about water consumption that you think was fully debunked (effectively argued against) by The Story of Bottled Water.
- Watch the film HERE or on YouTube HERE or on Vimeo HERE
- Read about the myths HERE. Choose ONE myth to write about.
Paragraph 1: Describe the myth and the most convincing argument(s) against it in your own words.A summary of the film from their website:
Paragraph 2: Explain what YOU may be able to do to help debunk this myth further.
[It is] the story of "manufactured demand"---how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over seven minutes, the film explores the bottled water industry’s attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to "take back the tap," not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.
