Sure!
ok thanks here's what it tells me to do
Topic question: Should pesticides (spray used for destroying insects) be used on farms? Instructions: You will organize an argument against the use of pesticides on farms because it is harming the bee population. Read the evidence below and then organize your argument. (Copy and paste the outline below into the feedback box and add your information.) Argument Organizer Claim: In your own words Reason 1: In your own words Support for Reason 1: Quote from the evidence below Reason 2: In your own words Support for Reason 2: Quote from the evidence below Counterclaim: What is the opposing point of view Rebuttal Support: Quote from the evidence below Conclusion Clincher: Negative effects that will occur if your readers do not follow your claim ____________________________________ EVIDENCE 1 Negative Effects of Pesticides In the last 50 years, there has been a decrease of honeybee colonies. Where are the bees? Normally, bees have a built-in memory system so they can leave the hive, collect pollen and nectar, and then return safely to their hive. But, as they consume pesticides from the flowers, their brains are negatively affected, and they "forget" the location of the hive making it impossible for them to return. This has been decreasing the number of bee colonies. Excerpt from “Natural Farming Journal” ____________________________________ EVIDENCE 2 Negative Effects of Pesticides Pesticide exposure in bees may cause infections in honey bee colonies. Scientists detected 35 different pesticides in the pollen. They found more infections in bees that consumed pollen with these pesticides. These infections are a cause of honeybee deaths. Excerpt from “Journal of Biological Research” PLOS One ____________________________________ EVIDENCE 3 Negative Effects of Pesticides The way humanity manages honey bees will define our future in the 21st century. The fact is that 70 percent of our crops are pollinated by bees. If the bees disappear because we are using pesticides, these crops will disappear because they will lose their major pollinator - the bee. Excerpt from United Nations Report ____________________________________
Okay so basically, after reading throught he given evidence, let your first paragraph be the conclusion. Talk about how it is bad to use pesticides and list 3 reasons why but don't give too many details about the 3 reasons. Then, make 3 paragraphs. Let each paragraph be all about 1 reason each and use the evidence to make more sentences.
First paragraph is introduction not conclusion my bad
ok thanks
