Introduce speakers
Shawn : Hi, I am shawn and I am the 1^st speaker.
Andrew : Hi, I am Andrew and I am the 2^nd speaker.
Andrew : And this is Chuan Hao, our cameraman for this documentary.


Introduction of what the documentary consists.
Andrew : In this documentary, we are going to explain to you what the earth would be like without trees.

Shawn : We are also going to…. based on our research on…..
Andrew: Lastly, we are going to show a video of an experiment we did to prove that….

Conclusion
Shawn : We have come to the end of our documentary. We have encountered many problems in the making of this documentary
Andrew : Example would be finding time to film the documentary. We were always busy and couldn’t find time to get together and do the documentary. However, we set a date and time to do it, and this solved the problem.

Shawn : We have also had trouble with creating the documentary as we had little content and research. But after much surfing on the net, we managed to find sufficient information.

Andrew : Thank you very much.  

This is not a finalized version. I will finish it once I have discussed with Andrew what we are going to do for the documentary.

Oral Presentation Script ( not finalized )

Andrew: Hello, my name is Andrew and I am group leader and this is my group the tree huggers from class 2 Henry.

Chuan Hao: Hi, I am Chuan Hao.
Shawn: And I am Shawn
Desmond And I’m Desmond.

Chuan Hao: What we are going to present today consists of a flash video, slide show and short documentary on the topic of how man and trees are affecting the environment.

Shawn: We will first start with the slide show.
First off… (reads the script for slide show)

Desmond: We have come to the conclusion that …. And that we should …. To help save the environment.

Chuan Hao: Next would be the short flash video, about trees and how it is affecting the environment.
(reads script for flash video )
 
( Introduce problems that man is creating for the environment, and how the environment is in return, affecting man )

(Also introduce how people around the world are suffering from this)

Andrew: Lastly, we have the documentary
(reads script for documentary)

(Conclusion for documentary)
The problems we faced while creating this project is ……. And we managed to overcome this problems......... We have learnt that ………..

Shawn: Well, that’s the end of our IPW project. Thank you for your time.

I will create a better version of the exact scripts later on once I have gotten the scripts from Chuan Hao and Desmond and after we have done our documentary. I will create a finalized version soon.

i WILL be doing the oral presentation, documentary scripts and the planning on what the documentary is about later. I will update when I am done.

Question 1. What will happen to Earth if there are no more trees?

The earth will become hotter and eventually become a desert.

Trees are one of the sources of water vapor that is found in the air .They release water vapor through transpiration. If there are no trees, this water source will be cut off reducing the average rainfall of the earth.

Secondly, the absorption CO2 and release oxygen. If there are no trees, oxygen content in the air will come down gradually leading to death of plants and animals because of suffocation. While the increasing of CO2 content in the air would also lead to global warming and result in extreme weather conditions, increasing the speed of the death of the living things.

Tree's root protects the soil and prevents it from soil erosion and weathering. Without the trees, the soil won’t retain water which will cause the soil to be as dry as the sand in the dessert.

Question 2. How does the trees play a part in the atmosphere?

Trees help to prevent global warming by gaseous exchange and cleaning the air.

A gas that greatly causes global warming is carbon dioxide. Trees take in gases just like we do except when they breathe they take in carbon dioxide and oxygen. A tree changes the carbon dioxide it takes in into oxygen. 

However, what we do not know is when trees die, they ROT, and when they rot, all the carbon they stored over the years will be oxidized and released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. 

Well, not all of the carbon. Some part of it will be transferred to the soil. But in places like the Amazon Rain Forest, the soil is too thin to hold much carbon, so very little goes into the soil and what little does is rapidly released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

On the other hand, if, instead of allowing trees to die and rot, we have to harvest the trees, turn them into lumber, and treat them to prevent rot, the carbon therein would be sequestered (prevented from oxidizing into the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) almost indefinitely.

 So in the end, both sides contribute to global warming and at the same time prevent global warming.
