The decimation of elm trees in Antigonish due to Dutch Elm Disease has severely diminished downtown's attractiveness, leading to potential economic decline. The loss of these trees not only alters the visual appeal of the area but also affects local business traffic and community engagement. Without the natural beauty and shade provided by healthy trees, the quality of the urban environment suffers, potentially resulting in reduced foot traffic and lower customer attraction to downtown establishments. This paper argues that revitalization efforts must focus on urban forestry to restore the community's aesthetic and economic vitality.

  1. Theses • SHOULD BE: • Specific • Clear (not too wordy) • Argumentative • Analytical • Defensible (something you can back up with evidence)

  2. specific • DO THIS • “The death of all elm trees in Antigonish due to Dutch Elm Disease has made the downtown unattractive.” • NOT THIS • “Trees along the street can help make it look better.”

  3. CLEAR • DO THIS • “The Xaverian is a good newspaper because its writers are carefully screened.” • NOT THIS • “Due to the fact that some of the writers that apply to write for the Xaverian are English majors, this means that they have to take a test to write for the paper.”

  4. argumentative • DO THIS • “Children should be taught sexual education in elementary schools.” • NOT THIS • “Some children learn sexual education in elementary school.”

  5. analytical • DO THIS • “The bystander effect in today’s social climate presents itself in the form of cell-phone videos taken by observers, who do not intercede but who do record the incident.” • NOT THIS • “Lots of crimes could be prevented by people who just stand around videoing the whole thing on their phones.”

  11. INTRODUCTIONS • Introductory phrase (like, “Jones’ Madhatter (2001) highlights Canadian society’s intolerance of racial prejudice and stereotyping.”) • Outline of main points (in order) • Thesis • REMEMBER – • Write the intro last • Avoid the 1st person • It’s okay to write, “This paper will argue that …”
