Writing Assignment #4
The Multiple-Source Synthesis Essay:
Literature Review
Summary of assignment
• Task: The multiple-source essay asks you to synthesize the arguments of at least 10
sources
• Length: 2000-3000 words
• Format: APA

credible trade journals. You should find your sources through library searches.
o If you cite sources from websites or popular journals, these sources should be in
addition to the 10 sources you have cited from scholarly or trade journals.
• Topic: Please use the same topic that you used for writing assignment #3. It is
recommended that you focus on or expand on the essay that you wrote for writing
assignment #3. You will continue with the topic you have selected and will conduct
additional searches in the library databases, hopefully focus the topic more, and
determine the 10 or more sources to use in this essay.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

reports and write essay

to enable your lecturer to identify exactly
what the piece of work is. It should
include:
– Your group names and
– Course;
– The title of the assignment
12. Main text
• The main text of the essay has three
main parts:
– An introduction
– A main body
– A conclusion
13. The introduction.
• The introduction consists of two parts:
– It should include a few general statements about the subject to
provide a background to your essay and to attract the reader's
attention. It should try to explain why you are writing the essay.

etc.

ideas and arguments, together with illustrations or
examples.

ideas.
• The purpose of the essay must be made clear and the
reader must be able to follow its development.
15. Flow of information in
paragraphs
• Paragraphs are usually structured as
– Topic Sentence
• This is the first sentence and it expresses The main idea.
– Supporting Sentences
• details that expand your main idea.
– Concluding Sentence
• a rounding off, possibly by summarizing what has been said
or drawing a logical conclusion from it.
16. Flow of information in
paragraphs

finally, so thus, as a result, because,
therefore, for example, for instance, in
contrast, on the other hand.
17. The conclusion
• The conclusion includes the writer's final points.
– It should recall the issues raised in the introduction and draw
together the points made in the main body
– and explain the overall significance of the conclusions. ((What
general points can be drawn from the essay as a whole?))
• It should clearly signal to the reader that the essay is
finished and leave a clear impression that the
purpose of the essay has been achieved.

19. PLAN THE ESSAY AND
ORGANIZE IDEAS
• There should be a central question the essay is
trying to answer!!!
– E.g. What are advertising appeals and how they are
effective?
– Investigating the effect of using different color in
advertising
– What are the different factors that could affect brand
positioning?
– The effect of the self theory on consumption?
– Culture differences and the effect on
ads/consumption/consumer preferences…etc.
20. So how do I plan this essay?
• What is the answer to your question?
• What points do you need to make to support or give
evidence to prove your answer?
• What is the best order to arrange these points? Are
they relevant to the topic? These points become your
paragraphs in the body of your essay. Remember you
are arguing your point of view, showing you are
aware of their views, but maintaining your stance
(position).
