This extra credit assignment requires the student to select one topic relating to this course. The topic can
be broad, such as swidden agriculture, or more specific, such as the rift valley formation in Iceland. Upon
deciding on a topic, the student must find an article relating to this topic and write a 1-page summary of
the article, relating it to the information contained within the textbook. Please include what you found
interesting about this topic.
General Essay Guidelines:
Each essay must the title of the essay, your name, date, and class information. The body of the text is
limited to 1 single page. A proportionately spaced font such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Helvetica
must be used (no Courier) and the font must be either a 10 or 12 point in size. (Larger font sizes will
result in a reduced grade). Margins should not exceed 1 inch on all sides.
The body of text must be followed by the full reference of the source article used. The article can be from
a newspaper, a magazine, a journal article, a book or the internet. All internet sources must be from
legitimate publishers (educational institutes, libraries, government agencies etc.) Online encyclopedias
are not a valid source for any essay. Do not use Encarta, Wikipedia or other digital encyclopedias. A
relevant map/graph relating to your article must be included. This map does not count toward the
page total, and you need to write about the map in your essay. Failure to mention the map will result in
point deductions.
A proper citation must be included using either the APA, MLA, Taurabian or other other citation format.
Other citation formats must include the relevant information (author, title, publisher, year, pages,
volume, etc.) These formats are widely available on the internet or in the SUNY library.
While the content of your written text is most important, spelling mistakes, other errors in usage, and
failure to follow the specified guidelines will cause your grade to be lowered.
Do not plagiarize! You will be punished appropriately. Refer to the syllabus or the student handbook
regarding academic dishonesty.
Submission:
• 1 page summary of article.
• Relevant map, table or chart. Be sure to address in the summary.
• Either a link to the article or attach a digital copy of the article.

1. What does the data tell you about the geography of clothing production?
2. Why are some countries more frequently represented in your data than others? In other words, why
do clothing manufacturers operate in certain countries but not others?
3. Be sure to reference countries from your data set in your discussion of the economic geography of
clothing production.
4. Also be sure to address large areas devoid of clothing production in your presentation. Below are the attachments from my presentation and the countries listed are from my data set.

Book Review
Write a substantial book review.  Suitable books could be fiction or nonfiction, although nonfiction is generally easier to work with.  If you choose to review a book, it should be about one of the regions/countries covered in the course, or one (or more) of the major themes of World Geography.  I don’t have any preconceptions about what books would work or not, but if you want suggestions or clarification, please let me know.
Book reviews should include the following:
A full bibliographic citation.
A brief discussion of the author(s). E.g., if the author is an academic, where do they work? What field do they study?  What is their specialty area?  What other books have they written? (Etc.)
A summary of the book’s contents.  What is the book about?  How is it organized?  What are the author’s conclusions or key takeaways from the book?  For an academic book, what does it contribute to the field?
A discussion of how the book relates to or builds on the course materials.  What did you learn from the book?  How does it influence your knowledge and understanding of world geography?
Book reviews should be about 4-5 pages in length.  The summary should be the longest part (~2-3 pages); author bio and discussion should be about a page each.  Illustrations are a plus, but do not count towards length.

Goals: The objectives of the term paper are for students to:
1) Share intellectual findings of a major theme in physical geography with their instructor.
2) Gain experience writing a well-structured, grammatically correct, concise, coherent paper.
3) Learn how to locate journal articles and other supporting references.
4) Learn how to properly extract, use, and cite work that is not your own.
Formatting: Papers should be between 1400-1500 words (including references), double-spaced,
in 12-pt font and in an appropriate style (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.).
Audience: Write for a college audience who has taken this course.
instructions:
1) Your name and a short title that provides the essence of the paper.
2) Introduction: Make sure the introduction clearly defines the overall direction of the paper.
3) Body: Paragraphs that are linked together and flow nicely.
4) Conclusion: A paragraph or two that tie the whole paper together.
5) In-text citations/references: In your text, you must cite at least SIX different sources, three of
which must be from journal articles (e.g., “landforms in this valley are predominantly glacial and
fluvial in origin. (Smith et al. 2014).”
6) Reference list: Use standard reference list format, such as one from a journal of your choice.

Assignment discription:
The semester essay consists of two parts.
First, identify two (2) core regions around the world that we have studied this semester. 
(I’ve chosen East Asia and Southeast Asia ) 
Compare and contrast what makes these 
areas attractive to their respective peripheral regions. (BE SURE TO DOCUMENT REFERENCES!)
Second, if you had to live in one of the areas you wrote about, which would you chose and why?(Give your own answer to this last question) 
The paper should be 500 to 750 words in length. That should be in the 2 to 3 page range.
Use a sans-serif, professional looking font (arial or calibri) with a font size no larger than 14.

Identify issues in that local area
Formulate an hypothesis 
Methodology used to collect data
Cause of problem
Effect of problem
How is the problem being addressed 
Possible solutions
Summary of investigation 
Is the hypothesis rejected or accepted based on your findings 

I’m attaching Details in the section and this is not a writing assignment more as in Lab work. which is pretty much simple it as every step in it detail .

Final Critical Analysis: A 5-6 page (not including bibliography) double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt font paper that addresses one following options:
1)  A comparison and contrast of two of the previous discussion board films using one or more core geographic concepts discussed throughout the term. Students may for example choose to:
Compare and contrast the portrayal of gender, class, and sexuality in Dirty Dancing and Dirty Pretty Things
Compare and contrast the role of gendered social expectations and classed/raced stereotypes in Dirty Dancing and Smoke Signals
Compare and contrast the different understandings of personhood and/or futurity that are deployed in Bladerunner and Dirty Pretty Things
Compare and contrast the role of nature in Smoke Signals and Bladerunner
Another combination of films watched during class and core concepts of the student’s choosing
Each paper requires a minimum of three academic references, two of which must come from readings assigned for this class (all three may as well), and a minimum total of 4 references, including academic and non-academic. Academic references are books published with academic publishers or peer-reviewed journal articles, not websites, newspaper articles or other beyond what I have laid out here. These other sources of information may be used but do not count towards the minimum number of academic references needed. Information gathered from websites MUST have author details. If the page doesn’t have any author information, you cannot use it in your paper. I greatly encourage all papers to have a thesis statement structure and format, however given that this is a first year course it is not strictly required. Please visit the writing center if you are unfamiliar with thesis statement structure or structuring ideas presented in term papers generally speaking.
