Sources

You are required to use 2 secondary sources for your essay. These sources could: tell us relevant information about who is making the argument, the issue, or maybe even the occasion for the argument. The purpose is to help better contextualize the argument for your reader. Sources should be credible and appropriate for the assignment. These sources must be properly cited according to MLA, meaning students must have both in-text citations (also called parenthetical citations) AND a works cited page.

Guidelines

Thesis Statement: All essays must have a thesis statement located near the end of their introduction (first paragraph). A rhetorical analysis thesis statement should say whom an author/text is addressing, how she is addressing them, why she is saying what she is saying, and whether or not it is effective. Evidence from the Text: In order to support your claims, assertions, observations, you will need to provide evidence from the text. In other words, you will want to use examples, direct quotes, or paraphrased material from the text in order to demonstrate where and how the author is making their argument.

Your essay must address the following:

RHETOR/SPEAKER: Who is making the argument? What ethos does it create, and how does it do so?

SUBJECT: What is the subject?

OCCASION: What are the contexts—social, political, historical, cultural—for this argument? Whose interest does it serve? Who gains or loses by it?

PURPOSE: What is the purpose of this argument? What does it hope to achieve?

STRATEGIES: What appeals or techniques does the argument use—emotional, logical, ethical?

What facts, reasoning, and evidence are used in the argument and how are they presented?

How is the argument organized or arranged?

How does the language or style of the argument persuade an audience?

TONE: What is the author’s tone/attitude toward the audience? Toward her subject?

In Chapter 6, you read about the importance of conserving natural resources through sustainable practices. Ecotourism, sometimes called “sustainable tourism,” is one step people can take toward ecological responsibility.

When ecotourism is implemented successfully, it:

uses the financial gains of tourism to support the conservation and preservation of the environment.

encourages businesses in the tourist industry to implement “green” policies and practices in their daily operations.

challenges travelers to adopt mindfulness, awareness, and sensitivity to cultural and environmental needs around the world.

benefits members of indigenous communities through economic growth.

For example, an Alaskan cruise company might take passengers through Glacier Bay National Park and provide facts about glaciers in relation to climate change. Passengers can disembark for a day at ports of call (such as Anchorage, Ketchican, and Skagway) to experience the wildlife and nature in those habitats.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Think of an ecotourism event you have experienced or research one that occurs near your community. Describe the event or destination by explaining the environmental features that attract tourists. What are the benefits of that ecotourism? What are some disadvantages? Consider incorporating the details above in your response.

I am from Memphis Tn, and I stay 5 minutes away from Elvis Presley’s Graceland home. Even though I have never visited the place myself. It is always a buzzy destination. Since 1982 Memphis has seen an uptick in tourism since Graceland became open to the public. The mansion and surrounding grounds have actually attracted visitors from nearly every country in the world. Aside from being a beautiful place, Graceland was famously known as the home of Elvis Presley after he purchased the home in 1957. On August 16, 1977 Elvis died at Graceland. After, Elvis former wife Priscilla Presley and the executors planned to open Graceland to the public. By June 7, 1982 graceland was open to the public for tours and since hosted more than 20 million visitors from every state in the union and nearly every country in the world. Because of this EPE has increased tourism in Memphis and continues to welcome over 500000 visitors annually and has become one of the five most visited home tours in the United States.

I think Louisiana is well know for its tourism, ecotourism specifically, not that anyone calls it that. I have pretty much experienced ecotourism all over the state of Louisiana. Here we have a good amount of state parks, camp grounds, fishing tours, swamp tours, and Global Wildlife. I enjoy visiting the Tickfaw State park, it is less that 20 miles from my house, it is a very peaceful and scenic area. I usually go for a hike or a bike ride on the scenic trails. The camp ground that I enjoy the most is located in Robert, LA. It has many open trails, lakes, birds,and other wildlife to enjoy. A lot of tourist come from all over to experience our charter fishing and swamp tours. And Global Wildlife houses thousands of exotic and endangered animals from all over the world such as zebras, kangaroos, deer, bison.

I think ecotourism is beneficial in the fact that it brings awareness and knowledge of a specific area. For example the swamp tours here in Louisiana show case wildlife in its most natural form and a much preserved ecosystem.

Global wildlife is a non profit that brings awareness to the animals that are threatened and endangered.

A disadvantage may be that some people do not take pride in the areas mentioned above. Often times I notice that people are careless when it comes to picking up after themselves so that contributes to pollution in those areas

it is required 350 words, and please follow the textbook that i’ll upload and the link that i posted it with do not use any outside sources.

after reading the Chapter you do need to use examples that you cite from the reading so keep that in mind. Failure to do so will result in a lower grade. Any simple citation style works, including something like this (Brand, Chapter One, Section 5).

Early Childhood Inclusion: A Joint Position of the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) takes historic step by providing a shared national definition of inclusion as “the values, policies, and practices that support the right of every infant and young child and his or her family, regardless of ability, to participate in a broad range of activities and contexts as full members of families, communities, and society.” https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/children-disabilitie…

23. Research indicates that learners typically receive little formal instruction in the use of study strategies. Why is this the case? Are study strategies best taught within the context of a particular content area, such as history, or are they better taught “context-free?” Why do you think so?
