\u201cWow! That stinks!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re walking by a smelly factory, this might be an appropriate response.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re walking by a farm on a sweltering summer afternoon, this might be exactly what you\u2019d expect to hear.<\/p>\n

This is not, <\/i>however, <\/i>what you want to hear from your prof when she reads your essay.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re writing an essay about pollution and you\u2019re worried that it might stink up to high heaven, here\u2019s how to write a pollution essay that doesn\u2019t stink.<\/p>\n

How to Write a Pollution Essay That Doesn’t Stink<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re writing about pollution, you might think you\u2019re all set because you already have a topic, right? Not so fast.<\/p>\n

Pollution is a broad<\/i> topic to write about. You still need to narrow your focus, develop a thesis, and find some sources.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you do it.<\/p>\n

Step #1: Know your assignment<\/h3>\n

Before you can even begin to think about writing, you need to know what type of paper you should be writing. This means you need to closely read the assignment guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Should you write an argument essay<\/a>, a problem-solution essay<\/a>, or a compare\/contrast essay<\/a>? Trust me, it makes a difference.<\/p>\n

For instance, an argument essay about pollution might argue whether a specific law needs to change. A problem-solution essay might argue that the problem is caused by a specific law and would then explain possible solutions. A compare\/contrast essay about pollution might compare two different approaches to solving a problem. This type of essay may or may not offer solutions (depending on the assignment).<\/p>\n

Each of these types of essays requires a different focus, a different thesis, and different types of evidence to support your arguments<\/a>. Make sure you know what type of paper you should be writing before <\/i>you start your assignment.<\/p>\n

Step #2 Narrow your focus<\/h3>\n

The topic of pollution is clearly too broad. There\u2019s no way you can write an effective pollution essay in just a few pages. Even if you have a few hundred pages, the topic is still too broad.<\/p>\n

The question is, how do you narrow the topic, and what do you narrow it to?<\/p>\n

Here are a few questions to ask that will help you narrow the topic of pollution:<\/b><\/p>\n
