Then, after you watch the video write a brief 1-page essay (12 pt font, double spaced) summarizing what you learned from the video. Try to focus on Antarctica’s climate history, the specifics of what the ice and ocean sediment cores in Antarctica reveal, and the process of the ice-core extraction details.

Note: Use complete sentences with correct grammar and spelling. Proper writing and clarity of thoughts are important in getting full credit.  Also please keep to the 1-page, much shorter or longer essays will be cause for a reduction in score.
