Y4 – Wednesday 1st July – English – Home Learning

Today’s task is to plan a persuasive text about deforestation using the research you did yesterday. Below is an example of the text you are aiming to write.

Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. However, at the rate it is currently being cut down, this will not last much longer. Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest affects all living things on Earth and unless it is stopped or limited, there will be serious consequences in the future.

Firstly, deforestation causes devastating loss to animal and plant life. Cutting down the enormous Amazon trees means that animal habitats are destroyed and plants are crushed. This is leading to many animals becoming endangered and extinct – each year, many animal and plant species are becoming extinct. Can you really imagine a world without certain species of animals?

Secondly, deforestation is causing climate change and global warming to worsen. The Amazon rainforest is described as the lungs of the Earth, but if we are cutting down these lungs, they won’t be able to breathe in many of the harmful gases that cause climate change and global warming. Surely someone as smart as you knows that if we carry on cutting down trees, that the Earth will become a place where no life will be able to survive!

Finally, deforestation is cutting the supply of oxygen to all living things. The Amazon rainforest is responsible for 20% of all oxygen produced on Earth. We are carelessly killing the Amazon and at the same time, killing ourselves! Deforestation means there are fewer trees available to absorb carbon dioxide and release vital oxygen needed for all living things to stay alive. It is like we are slowly suffocating ourselves and nobody cares!

You must do something to prevent the changes that have already started because of deforestation. Animals are becoming endangered and extinct, climate change and global warming is getting worse and the amount of oxygen on Earth is decreasing. If these aren’t reasons to act now, then the future of mankind and all living things is in great danger.

Task: Use the example to plan your own persuasive text about deforestation on this form.

    Deforestation
    Deforestation is when people cut down trees.This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction or manufacturing.

    As you know it rainforest are coming to a end and we need to stop cutting trees . Trees are important they take in cabindiroxside but when we cut trees that co2 gets out in the air it’s not good though it traps the heat of the sun like a box anything on that surferse is boiling hot it also effects the so mate making it change . If we don’t fixed this in 100 years all of life will be exstinced like the dinosaurs how can we stop this ?

    DEFORESTATION IS A DANGER TO THE 🌎WORLD!!!!
    Deforestation is when trees are cut down. The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest with all the 🌳trees being cut down it will no longer be the largest rainforest.

    Is deforestation good?
    Without trees there is no paper, no newspaper, no magazines, no furniture.How can we live without these? If we have no sofa so what can we sit on.If we have no paper so what can we write on.This is the only reason we can do these thing is with cutting trees.

    Is deforestation bad?
    Deforestation is bad because it kills animals and their homes. Imagine your home was destroyed how would you feel ?Animals and plants are becoming extinct.Trees his is oxygen without trees there is no us.

    As a conclusion, I believe that deforestation is bad.

    Title
    How deforestation Impacts the world
    Induction
    Forest covers 30% of our planet an is essential for life earth is really important. However deforestation is happening and effecting all living things . If we do not stop they’re will be major consequences.
    Argument 1
    Firstly cutting down rainforest trees has a major impact on animal habitats . This means animals are becoming endangered or extinct . How would you feel if someone destroyed your home and you needed to find somewhere else to live .
    Global warming and climate change are getting worse as when they are cut down , all the stored carbon dioxide releases into the atmosphere , for a fact 24% of global warming is caused by this . Do you like the fact deforestation is causing problems for our world .
    Argument 2
    Secondly , it is estimated that 4 – 6 rainforest species go extinct eachyear .
    Also it affects 2 billion people that rely on the forest for food and shelter.
    Argument 3
    The main reason for deforestation is agriculture (farming) . The farmers crops down trees for crops (soy bean , palm trees and coca . ) They also raise life stock like cows for beef .
    Conclusion
    I think deforestation should slow down and rate trees grown mabye some gets cut down to keep the world world going mabye try to relocate animals to keep them safe .
    (Thank you ! )
