Instructions
In your course, turn to Lesson 4. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled, "Ecological Challenges Facing Humanity." Skim through that and then focus on the topic of deforestation.
Relying solely on the material in your course and using your own words, your objective will be writing a short descriptive essay that defines and explains selected environmental impacts of deforestation. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Before, during, or after you've completed your essay, be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
Environmental Impacts of Deforestation
Jennifer Croft
Your essay should have 5 paragraphs. Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say about these three topics - disruption of the carbon cycle, disruption of the hydro (water) cycle, and the reduction of species diversity.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, paragraph 2 should describe how deforestation disrupts the carbon cycle.
In paragraph 3, you'll write about how deforestation disrupts the hydro (water) cycle.
In paragraph 4, you'll explain how deforestation is related to declining species diversity.
Paragraph 5 is your conclusion paragraph. Here, you can describe how you feel about these three effects of deforestation and what we might do about it.
Mechanics
Your document's margins should be 1 inch, top, bottom, left, and right. That's the default option if you use MS Word.
All your copy should be flush left.
For purposes of evaluating your essay, skip a line between each paragraph.
Make sure you use a standard indent for the first sentence of each of your paragraphs. Pressing the tab key one time is a simple way to do that.
It's permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but don't overdo it. One to three such quotes should be your limit. In any case, be sure to bracket a direct quote with quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, "Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy."
Begin by writing a first draft. Remembering that writing is rewriting, try and try again to make your prose readable. After you think you have a final draft completed, go over the essay again to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.
