Letters / Letter to the president explaining a problem, suggesting a solution (Global warming) [3]

students will select a problem to write about. you will decide whether the federal, state, or local government best deals with this problem. you will research this problem and determine which legislator would be in the best position to solve it. you will then write a letter to that person explaining the problem and suggesting a solution. I need to turn in this soon! many thanks for any feedback left for me (English is my second language keep that in mind)

Dear Mr. President:

I am writing you today about a problem that's very important to me and millions of Americans across the country. Global Warming is one of the biggest problems in human history and the destiny of our planet is in our hands. If nothing is done, horrible things will happen, for example, Antarctica's animal population is decreasing. Also, the environment is changing because of constant temperature changes caused by the greenhouse effect.

Antarctica's animal population is moving, decreasing, and ending their hibernation's early. The polar bears are thinner and less healthier than those of 20 years ago. Many of fish are moving northward to find colder water, so that they can survive and produce offspring. This is happening because the rays of the sun get through the ozone layer melting the icecaps making the water heat up. The marmots end their hibernation three weeks earlier than usual because of the warm weather, according to the article "live Science: How Global Warming is Changing Wild Life Kingdom." We should care because if all these things are happening to the animals maybe they will eventually happen to us.

I am also concerned about the environment changing because of constant temperature change, caused by the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is important. Without the Greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the Greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.

So, Mr. President, Global Warming is something we want to stop. If we do not react soon, by the time we do react, it might be too late. I think that laws should be passed to help fight Global Warming, no matter what it takes. I believe that people should be forced to recycle. Next, we should try to save energy by turning off lights and other things that don't need to be official. We should try to plant more trees and be more energy efficient.

Sincerely,

Writing Feedback / Reflective essay about global warming - legislators should listen to constituents . [2]

ESSAY DIRECTIONS:

PARAGRAPH 1: INTRODUCTION- BRIEFLY INTRODUCE THE PROBLEM OR CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN. WHY IS IT A PROBLEM FOR YOUR COMMUNITY?

PARAGRAPH 2: DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE PROBLEM OR CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY. WHAT SOLUTION DID YOU SUGGEST TO THE POLITICIAN WHOM YOU WROTE?

PARAGRAPH 3: WHAT DO YOU HOPE WILL BECOME OF YOUR LETTER AND SUGGESTIONS? SPECULATE AS TO THE EFFECTS OF YOUR LETTER ON THE PROBLEM THAT YOU ADDRESSED. TO WHOM DID YOU ADDRESS THE LETTER TO AND WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WILL HELP YOU?

PARAGRAPH 4: CONCLUSION- WHAT DID THE EXPERIENCE TEACH YOU ABOUT THE POLITICAL PROCESS? WHY SHOULD LEGISLATORS LISTEN TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS?

I NEED CONFIDENCE, I FEEL LIKE I DIDN'T ADDRESS THE ESSAY DIRECTIONS, SHOULD I INCLUDE A TITLE? DOES THE PROBLEM IS RELEVANT TO OUR COMMUNITY?

Global Warming has been a number one problem around the world. This problem is forcing our animals to change their ways of living. As the time is passing, more and more animals are suffering form the effects of Global Warming. We are concerned that future generations will not know the animal that make our planet look beautiful.

One result of Global Warming is Antarctica's animal population is moving, decreasing, and ending their hibernation's early. For example, our polar bears today are thinner and less healthy than those of 20 years ago. The reason for the polar bears being thinner is due to the migration of fish. Many fish species have migrated northward to find colder water. With the fish migration, polar bears are starved causing them to be thinner. Animals are changing their breeding times by five days in the past ten years due to temperature change. One of the solutions to help fight Global Warming is to pass laws to reverse Global Warming effects. Also, people should be forced to recycle lot of things instead of using new ones .Then, we should plant more trees and be more energy efficient.

I hope that my suggestions are implemented across the nation and that gradually diminishes Global Warming effects because little changes can make a big difference in our world. I decided to write this letter to the president Barack Obama because I think that he has promised a lot about Global Warming plan and has done nothing of what he has promised. Also, President Barack Obama needs to hear that we are still interested in what he said someday about his plan to deal with the issue of climate change. Unfortunaly, I have not received any response from the president Barack Obama.

In fact, legislators should listen to constituents because they need to know whether or not they are doing well their job and if they are responding to the needs of the people. Part of a legislator's job is to make constituents happy so they are allowed to keep their job. I learned that constituents are the most effective lobbyists for legislators. They want us to be more involve in politics and to express our opinion by going to vote.
