Today, more than any other time in history, there is growing support to move away from nonrenewable resources towards developing renewable resources to meet current and future energy needs. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources that continue to negatively impact the environment. It is important to learn how these resources are formed since this process of formation is at the very heart of why fossil fuels are considered to be nonrenewable.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the nonrenewable resource assigned to you:

Coal Natural gas Petroleum (oil) Note: You are assigned a resource based on the first initial of your last name. Last names beginning with A–J research coal, names beginning with K–R research natural gas, and names beginning S–Z research oil.

Respond to the following:

Describe how this nonrenewable resource was initially formed. Briefly explain where the major reserves of this nonrenewable resource are located and how it is extracted. Examine the environmental impact caused by the extraction process. Explain how this nonrenewable resource is used to produce energy, and identify the pollution problems that are caused from this energy source. Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Write your initial response in approximately 350–400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Each type of proposed renewable energy has its benefits and drawbacks. For example, hydropower has the benefit of relatively consistent results; however, it remains controversial due to its impact on aquatic environments.

For this assignment, select one renewable resource to examine its benefits and drawbacks.

Using this module’s readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:

Describe the sources of this renewable resource. Explain how this renewable resource is harnessed for energy. Considering that it takes energy to make energy, identify the kind of energy needed to make electrical energy from this resource. State the average amount of energy this renewable source produces. For example, on average, how much energy does a single wind turbine produce in a year? Or, how much energy does a dam produce in a year? Or, how many wind turbines would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as the average dam? Compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of the renewable energy resource. Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples.

Write your initial response in a minimum of 350–400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Writing focused topic sentences for each of your body paragraphs is an important step in creating a cohesive essay. A topic sentence is the first sentence of each body paragraph and introduces the main idea of the paragraph. Remember, each topic sentence should relate, in a more detailed way, to your thesis statement.

Each topic sentence represents a body paragraph that is yet to be written. In order for your essay to flow smoothly, you will need to successfully transition between each body paragraph.

Respond to this discussion with the following information:

Write your revised thesis statement so we know your topic. List the topic sentence for each of your body paragraphs, three sentences in all. Write a paragraph explaining how your topic sentences relate to your thesis statement and to each other. Include the type of organization you will use (refer to your textbook readings) and why that type of organization will help your reader see the connection between your paragraphs. List the specific words and phrases you plan to use, either in your topic sentences or in other places in your paragraph, to help guide the reader from one paragraph to the next. Your response should include four sentences (the thesis and the three topic sentences, one for each body paragraph) and your paragraph explaining your choices.

For this assignment, you should post four sentences: your revised thesis statement and the three topic sentences you’ve constructed. You also want to include a paragraph explaining how your topic sentences relate to the thesis statement, the type of organization you’re using (refer to our readings), and specific words/phrases you plan to use. Make sure you review the assignment guidelines before posting.

How manners have changed over time

Example:

Body paragraphs are centered around one main idea that relates to the thesis statement. Topic sentences make it easier to stay on topic and tell the reader what the paragraph is going to be about.

Helpful Hints: Topic sentences are like mini thesis statements for each paragraph. The topic sentence unifies the paragraph.

Sample Thesis Statement: In order to succeed in the classroom, college students need to utilize the resources available to them throughout their academic careers.

This thesis statement is clear, takes a position on how students need to succeed, and it provides how students can succeed (by utilizing available resources). Here are three topic sentences:

One important resource that all college students should utilize for success is tutorial services.

Another important resource for student success is frequent use of the library.

In addition to using tutoring services and the library, college students should consult with their advisor on a regular basis to monitor success and make necessary changes when needed.

Notice how the topic sentences not only help the reader know what will be written about in each paragraph, they also help the writer organize the main ideas of the essay. There are three support points that link back to what is being argued in the thesis statement while providing the reader with one resource per paragraph.

For this assignment, you should post four sentences: your revised thesis statement and the three topic sentences you’ve constructed. You also want to include a paragraph explaining how your topic sentences relate to the thesis statement, the type of organization you’re using (refer to our readings), and specific words/phrases you plan to use. Make sure you review the assignment guidelines before posting.
