THIS IS MY PREVIOUS WORK, I ONLY NEED WEEK 6
WEEK 3
Building strong thesis statements is the first step to creating strong essays. They are like maps or GPS systems for outlining the whole essay.
· Choose one of the broad topics from the list below. You will write on this topic throughout the course as we build pieces of an essay in the Discussions. This is not the topic, however, for the essay we will build in the Assignments. In other words, we are building two parts to a full essay: one in the Discussions, and one in the Assignments.
· The Electoral College in the US
· Learning to Speak another Language
· Going to an Online University
· Immigration
· Art and Artists
· Owning a Home
· The Director's Role in Filmmaking
· Repairing a Car Engine
· The Environment
· Music
· If you'd like to explore another topic, message me for approval.
· Refine your chosen topic to something manageable; it is impossible, for example, to write all there is to know about music.
· Too broad: Many musicians have had a great influence on history.
· Refined: Beethoven's accomplishments as a musician, his loss of hearing, and his continued influence on today's music make him one of the finest composers of all time.
· Spend a little time researching your refined topic. Go to the APUS library or Google Scholar.
· Write a thesis statement that includes the refined topic + argument/assertion + 3-point essay map.
· Post your thesis statement to this discussion.
· Critique the thesis statements of your peers.
· Do you see three clear parts?
· Do you see the three points of the essay map?
· Are any of the points too similar (each point should be a separate idea)?
· Do you have questions about the topic?
· Did you find any research on the topic (this will benefit your classmate and be good research practice for you :))?
Specific Instructions: Your initial post should be submitted by 11:59 p.m., ET, on Thursday to be eligible to receive (but not guaranteed) all the points for the initial post. Please respond to at least 2 other students. Responses in ENGL101 are critiques. In other words, it is not enough to simply agree with a point or with the content; rather, you are to pinpoint what works in the structure, word choice, and flow of the writing. You can also point out what doesn't work and offer suggestions for change or improvement.
The topic I chose for this week's discussion is the environment. I chose this topic because I felt it was a little different and something I'd like to know more about.
Thesis Statement: Protecting the environment is very crucial for life on earth for many reasons, including that the air we breathe comes from our environment, the food and water we drink comes from our environment, and the buildings and homes we live in are all affected by our environment.
WEEK 4
Each paragraph holds one main idea and its supporting details and/or evidence. The goal of the body paragraphs in an essay is to prove each point of the essay map in a thesis. For this discussion, you will be writing one of body paragraphs.
· Start by choosing one of the points from the essay map you wrote for the thesis statement in the Week 3 Discussions.
· The Electoral College in the US
· Learning to Speak another Language
· Going to an Online University
· Immigration
· Art and Artists
· Owning a Home
· The Director's Role in Filmmaking
· Repairing a Car Engine
· The Environment
· Music
· Spend a little time researching the point you chose at the library or on Google Scholar.
· Write a topic sentence that introduces the topic + argument/assertion.
· Add 2-3 sentences of supporting details/evidence from your research. Do not use a direct quote but give credit for any ideas that come from another source.
· Write a concluding sentence.
· Post your body paragraph to this discussion.
· Critique the body paragraphs of your peers.

The food and water we drink comes from our environment
In addition, the food and water we drink comes from our environment. Protecting our environment is very important if we want to eat healthy and safe. What our food is packaged in as well as what we fertilize our crops with all come from our environment. To produce food you have to have water and energy. Food is 26 percent of greenhouse gas emission. One percent of food’s emissions comes from crop production for humans, and six percent comes from the production of animal food. The food we eat provides nutrition, and comes from all over the world. Shipping food around the world contributes to air and water pollution and takes away some nutrients from food. It is better to consume food grown locally that way nutrients can be returned back into the soil as compost and waste. Taking care of our environment broadly affects what we eat.
WEEK 5
One of the most influential paragraphs in an essay is the introduction. It is the first thing your reader sees, and like a movie trailer, gives highlights of all the best supporting details and/or evidence that will appear in the essay. The introduction will help the reader determine whether or not to read the whole essay.
· Start with a hook for the topic you chose in the Week 3 Discussions.
· The Electoral College in the US
· Learning to Speak another Language
· Going to an Online University
· Immigration
· Art and Artists
· Owning a Home
· The Director's Role in Filmmaking
· Repairing a Car Engine
· The Environment
· Music
· You may need to spend a little time researching at the library or on Google Scholar for a good hook.
· Add 2-3 sentences of supporting details/evidence from your research. Make sure they are the best, most interesting highlights.
· Add your revised thesis from Week 3.
· Post your introduction to this discussion.
· Critique the introductions of your peers.

Earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable. The more we pollute and destroy the earth we live on the less time we have with it. There are many ways we can preserve our home called earth. There's also many reasons we as people should care to take care of our earth. Protecting the environment is very crucial for life on earth for many reasons, including that the air we breathe comes from our environment, the food and water we drink comes from our environment, and the buildings and homes we live in are all affected by our environment.
WEEK 6
A conclusion summarizes the most important points of the essay. Conclusions are also the last opportunity for writers to make their points to their readers. They are, therefore, an essential component of the essay. Too often, inexperienced writers write weak conclusions which weakens their essay. Spend some time crafting a strong conclusion.
· Do not start the conclusion with In conclusion.
· Review the evidence for the topic you chose in the Week 3 Discussions.
· The Electoral College in the US
· Learning to Speak another Language
· Going to an Online University
· Immigration
· Art and Artists
· Owning a Home
· The Director's Role in Filmmaking
· Repairing a Car Engine
· The Environment
· Music
· Add 2-3 sentences of the best, most interesting highlights. Rewrite the evidence in new ways so the reader does not recognize them from the body of the essay.
· Add a concluding sentence that restates your thesis statement. Remember the reader should not recognize it as your thesis statement. Make significant changes to the words and word order of the original thesis statement.
· Post your conclusion to this discussion.
· Critique the introductions of your peers.
