Global Footprint

In this extended writing task, students respond to an essay prompt explaining how South America influences the global community or why its environments matter to the planet. The worksheet guides them to write a structured essay with an introduction, body paragraphs, supporting evidence, and a conclusion. Students must draw on their understanding of topics such as the Amazon Rainforest, biodiversity, cultural contributions, natural resources, and environmental challenges. This activity strengthens expository writing skills, organization of ideas, and the ability to use specific examples in academic writing. It also builds global awareness by helping students connect regional issues to worldwide impacts.
