Kim Cullen Rawley WRIT 112 Aug. 23, 2018 Paper # 1 — 3 to 5 page paper in APA style with at least one source (You may use more if you wish.) Due dates: Rough draft Tuesday Sept. 4 for peer review, Final draft Due Tuesday Sept. 11 in hard copy, must be uploaded to turnitin.com though Moodle. Learning Outcomes: 1, 2, 4. Advocate for a point of view through persuasive writing. For this paper, you will use the essay we wrote in class about your relationship with nature, and the reading Last Child in Nature, as well as your own observations. This is a persuasive paper, and you will take a position about Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods. His thesis is that a lack of nature is detrimental to children; that nature gives them a way to process their feelings and work out problems. Using your own experiences, argue for or against his thesis. Do you feel that you haven’t missed anything by not getting outside as a child? Or do you long for the outdoors and think that younger siblings or friends are missing out by not having the same experiences as you? Quote from the text and use the essays you wrote the first day. If you want to use another source to argue your thesis, you may. For example, you might want to look for studies that show that prolonged video game gaming has positive effects on children, or something like that. Make sure you have a clear thesis, and use facts and quotes from the texts to support your point of view. Remember to use quotes sparingly and incorporate them into your sentences. Most of the writing should be yours, not quoted. Quotes should never be full sentences; you should introduce each quote with your own writing using signal phrases. Use proper APA style with a References page and in-text citations. If you need help getting started, use a graphical organizer like the pro/con list. Also consult your Rules for Writers handbook pages 4-17 on planning and assessing your paper.

Nature in Children Development
There is truth in the saying that at times nature is inevitable here on earth although the
current waves of things are sending a warning to the way children are brought up by their
parents. Richard Louv's in his book Last Child in the Woods stresses on the need to let
children interact with the outside world and get to interact with nature as this shapes their life
to a significant extent. The same idea is brought up by other researchers who see the need of
letting children interact with life outside their doors. Richard Louv puts it clear that lack of
nature is detrimental to children as nature gives them a way in which they can process their
feelings and work out problems. The paper will offer a discussion in support of the Richard
Louv opinion that nature is necessary for the development of children.
First and foremost, children's interaction with nature offers them social benefits.
Children can spend their lives indoors with their parents and grow but the experience they get
by spending much of their time outdoors cannot be replaced by what they get if they r...
