TOPIC TO USE : deforestation in the amazon 2019InstructionsExploratory/Inquiry Essay[1000 words minimum][20% OF FINAL GRADE][First draft due for peer review Friday February 21st; final draft due Sunday February 23rd]Assignment ObjectivesYou are required to express a question or problem about a specific topic about the natural physical environment; present relevant information from multiple reliable sources; and analyze the contributions of your identified sources toward an answer or solution (though this need not be conclusive).RationaleExploratory essays pose questions or problems. Identifying articles, essays, books, film or television, or visual artwork that contribute information that may ultimately provide answers or solutions is a key part of the preparatory process for researched writing. Although the findings from a single source will rarely be conclusive, you will have engaged in this assignment in inquiry about a topic and have pulled together relevant information that can be shared with an appropriate audience.AssignmentGlobal warming, desertification, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and disposal of wastes, along with other environmental issues have been of great concern. Choose an environmental topic that matters to you. How does this issue impact your local community? The nation? Is it of global significance? Do I need a works cited page?Because you will be quoting, paraphrase, and summarizing from a source, you will need to parenthetically cite it when you use it in your essay and include an MLA works cited page with an entry for source. Please ask if you have questions regarding citations, and remember that all essays will go through the Turnitin Originality Check in the D2L Dropbox.Rubric Name: Exploratory EssayThis table lists criteria and criteria group name in the first column.
