Assignment: Promising Worlds in our Solar System
There are two promising worlds within our solar system that have garnered enough attention and serious considerations are planned to explore them.
Make an argument for why Europa and Mars are seen as the most important places to explore in our solar system for potential signs of past or living life. Explain what conditions make the world potentially habitable. Your next assignments (in session 4 and 5) will focus on the types of lifeforms that may be found there and missions planned to explore these worlds, so focus this assignment on the characteristics of the location itself that make it scientifically interesting.
Your assignment should be about 500 words in length and should highlight the features of each world that provide evidence of past or potential life. The more pertinent information you provide in a coherent, logical, scientific argument the stronger your grade. Your work must be in your own words and must not contain any cutting and pasting from the Internet or other sources. That includes cutting paragraphs and changing a few words – that is not acceptable.
Use the videos that I uploaded.
There are 2 parts for this assignment.
First part, I want you to comment about what you enjoyed (or didn’t understand about the reading) from Manalansan.pdf, Valentine.pdf, “Selling the scary city.pdf” & “Gender Contests.pdf” You don’t need to discuss all readings.
Second part,
I want you to comment about what you enjoyed (or didn’t understand about the reading) from Peoples guide_social movements .pdf, Pulido_Solidarity .pdf, Pulido, Race and Political Activism.pdf” & “Pulido_Intro .pdf”. I want you to state Pulido’s points!
For both part, you don’t need to mention all readings but i want you to be subjective. your response should be based on your opinion.
I want you to spare the equal amount for both parts.
I’ve attached the examples so i want you to follow the structure.

As city dwellers, were often busy working and/or going to school. Many of us leave our homes and get in our cars, or bikes, or skateboards, and get on the road. At this speed, we miss or ignore many environmental conditions that make our landscape. You are assigned to explore your local environment. What are the weather conditions or climatic patterns? What wind patterns dominate this area? What temperature ranges do you experience? How do you experience moisture such as storms, clouds, or fog . Then I want you to explore a country that you would like to visit or live in. You will write about this locations weather patterns, and/or the hydrologic features that are present there. Then I want you choose one topic that we are covering in class and compare and contrast your local environment to the environment you are researching. (Examples of topics: weather, extreme weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis). Articles and books must relate to the physical geography of 1 country or region of your choice. Do not quote the articles, paraphrase or summarize them in your own words instead.
APA format
For your Works Cited page (required) provide:
Name of Author
Title of Article or book
Date (Year)
Name of the peer reviewed Journal
Explain, in a couple of concise sentences, based on the Lecture 11 – Handout for quiz and discussion, how the current status of temperate rainforests in BC may have resulted from a mismatch between the natural disturbance regime and forest management. You must publish your main post before you are able to see those from your classmates, after which respectful follow-ups or replies are welcome (but not required). Your grade will be based on 1) the quality of your writing (i.e. clarity to convey your ideas), 2) depth of your comments and 3) justification for your arguments (each worth 1 point; up to 1 point will be taken off if the answer is too long and not concise; note there is no word limit but it is suggested to go below 150 words). You can answer this discussion based solely on the instructions and sources provided. You should be able to do it in 30 minutes including all the reading required. Keep it simple!!!

INTRODUCTION:
Supposing you were answering your Research Question: What are the effects of climate change on the habitats and survival potential of the world’s big-cat species?
You might have an introduction that discussed the most vulnerable or endangered big-cat populations at the present time – in contrast to earlier times when populations were larger. Give us some of the reasons for the changing size in animal populations you’ve selected. (Perhaps: tigers, snow leopards, and cheetahs). This is BACKGROUND INFORMATION. It sets the reader up to understand the problem you plan to address with your RQ and Research.
THESIS: Your thesis would directly address the terms of your RQ: climate change/big cats/effects/habitats/survival.
As Hacker tells us in her discussion of the thesis, its job is to
Be an informed, logical response to your Research Question
Respond directly to your RQ
BODY OF ARGUMENT: Following your Introduction and thesis, you could begin the body of your paper by commencing a discussion of a series of subtopics. Your research and your reader may be guided by subtopics. Here’s an example of a series of subtopics. Notice, they do not overlap but are clearly related.
If this were your topic, you might have the following four subheadings to address:
Shrinking Habitat: Causes and Consequences (as you see, you’d need more than one paragraph to address all species – and sub-species, such as Bengal, Siberian, Sumatran, and Malayan tigers, all the decreasing habitats, the causes of those decreases AND consequences – especially increased human-cat encounters, with the retaliatory killings that typically follow).
Fresh Water Needs: Different species have different water needs; you would discuss all three of your selected species and the way that climate change is affecting their access to fresh water.
Changes to Animal Physiology: The increasing global temperature turns out to alter the cells of animals such as cheetahs, which has contributed to their loss of fertility. This is a direct consequence of climate change. Discuss any further effects that the heating climate has on the big cats’ physiology and survival.
Peripheral Threats, Indirectly Related to Climate Change: Poaching is a recognized threat to big cats’ survival. Are the lives of poachers made more desperate by climate change? Do they rely more heavily on poaching endangered animals due to the various effects of climate change? Include this in your discussion.
CONCLUSION: Your conclusion will provide two types of information
Make further recommendations / Offer solutions to the problems you have examined
Demonstrate to your reader the value of the new information and understanding that your paper has provided.
WORKS CITED: Here, you’ll provide MLA citations for all the works that you have consulted, and cited, in your composition of this argument.
Describe how dinosaurs evolved various physical structures in order to process plants as a source of food.
