research intro

We get many of our medicine and food from the rainforest. The Rainforest also gives homes to many species of animals , plants and also to many indigenous communities. So what would happen to all the animals, plants and the Indigenous tribes if the rainforest was to be cut down?

Research Paper Blueprints

Topic: Rain Forest

Question: Why We Shouldn't Cut Down the Rain Forest?

To get my two book sources is, I'm going to check out my public library and Crafton Hills library and see if they have anything on Rain Forests and on how they work.

Next I'm going to check online and find some websites on "Why it would be bad to cut down the Rain Forests" and just get two good informational websites on that.

For my two databases I will go to the Crafton Hills Website and check the Proquest and Infotract & Opposing Viewpoints websites and find two good points on "Why We Shouldn't Cut Down the Rain Forest".

Then after i get all my information I'm going to plug it in to my research paper and finish my rough draft.

Topics for Research



My first topic i would want to talk about is...maybe Disneyland! I'm really interested in the history and back ground of Walt Disney. The questions i would want to answer would probably be, what kind of impact has Disneyland gave to families all over the world?, How it would be different with out Disney? and What would have happened if Walt Disney didn't die what and how would Disneyland be different. My second choice would probably be the Rain Forest. I'm also interested in the animal life , how it rains there almost everyday and how we could help keep it alive. I would ask what could we do to help the rain forest? and What would happen to the world if the rain forest was to be destroyed?. I would also want to ask what kind of resource we get from there? and how many tribes live there? These are my two choices that i would probably be more interested in then any others.
