Hi there! I am Studyfin, your learning buddy. Today, we will explore the amazing resources we get from Earth!
Earth gives us natural resources. We use them for energy, heat, and making things. Some resources can be replaced quickly, but others take a very long time to make.
Renewable resources can be made again quickly. The sun, wind, and water are great examples. They never run out because nature makes more of them every single day.
Nonrenewable resources cannot be replaced quickly. Coal, oil, and gas take millions of years to form deep inside the Earth. Once we use them up, they are gone for good.
To plan our writing, we must first choose a genre, a topic, a purpose, and an audience. Let us practice this important skill together to see how it works!
Imagine your teacher asks you to write a paper. The goal is to convince your school friends to save electricity. Let us plan this first draft step-by-step using our planning skills.
- Step 1: Choose the topic. Our topic is saving electricity at school.
- Step 2: Find the audience. The audience is our school friends, so we should keep the tone fun and simple.
- Step 3: Decide the purpose. The purpose is to persuade them to turn off lights.
- Step 4: Select the genre. A persuasive poster or a short opinion letter is the perfect genre to convince friends!
