  3. # 2 • Gaia Theory is states that life and the inorganic substances that life needs to sustain itself are dependent on each other. • Life is regulated by inorganic substances such as water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and minerals. ‘ • This relates to balance of the ecosystem but its more than the section in your book on pages 74-80. Compare this concept to the idea of Gaia in the movie

  8. #7 • It’s ok that your personal perspective is different than the one that you have been assigned. • You will need to give at least three factors that your character uses to justify their actions. Tell why the character uses these factors even though the factors may violate the Gaia theory; not take environmental unity into consideration and exploits limiting factors.

  9. Essay • Your essay should follow the rules and guidelines you have learned in your current English class. • All questions should be answered by your essay • You can have write a paragraph for each question, but what would be better, if you grouped your answers in like paragraphs. Organize the questions by topic, and then include the answers to the questions under each topic in complete and coherent sentences. • Each paragraph should be a complete paragraph; a topic sentence, the factors that support the topic sentence, and a concluding sentence that bridges into the next paragraph.
