Fact Sheet

In ENP 250 we have been focusing on making a fact sheet pertaining to specific environmental issues.  I choose global warming for my assignment.  There are multiple challenges with creating a fact sheet.  First off it must be aesthetically pleasing because without the reads initial attention your fact sheet will not be read.  Therefor the fact sheet must have a clear format, coordinated color scheme and 'eye catching' pictures or other visuals.  The information must be very concise and appeal to a specific audience.  For instance if you were making a fact sheet on the perils of eating play doh , your language would need to be extremely basic to appeal to a much younger audience.
To aid in achieving all these aspects we had multiple peer review sessions to gain insight on improvements that could be made.  I was unable to get specific advice on my fact sheet due to technical difficulties in the printing process.  Regardless, I gained a great deal of understanding of the subtleties in a successful fact sheet by review of my peer's works.  It gave me a lot of good ideas of what I could do with my fact sheet.  In fact, there was one fact sheet I read in particular that was the basis for the format I used in my fact sheet.  This collaboration process improved my fact sheet a great deal.
