Introduction: Hook your reader in. Introduce the topic. Explain what you will be writing about (Earth’s natural resources) - list these in a sentence.

Planet Earth is where we live.  It is an amazing planet with many natural resources, like air, water and soil.  Some resources are renewable and some are not.  Let me tell you about them.

Paragraph One: Resource 1 Topic Sentence: Where is this resource found? How is this resource created? How does this resource support life?

Resource Helps People to Survive. With Air, Water, Plants, Trees, Food. Air Can help us to have Oxygen and Water helps us to drink and Plants they help us to have food.

Paragraph Two: Resource 2 Topic Sentence: Where is this resource found? How is this resource Created? How does this resource support life?

Resource is found by Seed on the ground. Seeds can help us to make Plants, Trees. Seeds are good to make food from plants.

Paragraph Three (Optional): Resource 3 Topic Sentence: Where is this resource found? How is this resource Created? How does this resource support life?

Resource Is made By God. He Makes stuff for us to Survive. Like Food Seeds And Trees & Water.

Conclusion: Restate the natural resources you have talked about. What would happen if we didn’t have these resources? How can we look after these resources? (Your opinion).

If we didn’t have these resources then we would be Dead. We Can Look After the plants trees and water then we would not die.
