homework

1, what's going on the first page?
-----

Double-space everything. The easiest way to handle this is to simply set the format for double-spacing before you type anything.
2

Begin page numbering on the first page. The page numbers should be located in the upper right-hand corner. Your instructor may ask you to leave the number off the first page, but unless you are specifically instructed to do this, then begin numbering on the first page to adhere to standard MLA style rules. If you wish, you can list your last name immediately before the number. For example, if your name is Jane Lithing, then your first page number would appear "Lithing 1".


3
Place your name on the first line. It should be aligned with the left side of the page. Use your first and last name as you are registered in the class. For example, if your name is Annabelle Whitley but everyone calls you Annie, then your name on the paper should read "Annabelle Whitley" since that is how you appear on the class roster.
4
Follow with the name and title of your professor on the next line down. If your professor's name and title are Dr. Kingsley Charter, then your page will now look like this:Annabelle WhitleyDr. Kingsley CharterIf your instructor does not have a doctorate, then their title may be Professor, Ms. or Mr.


5
Add the name and number of the class. Generally, this will be a one or two word title and a four-digit number. For example, English 1212 or Multicultural Studies 1109. If your class is English 1212, then your page should now contain this information:Annabelle WhitleyDr. Kingsley CharterEnglish 1212


6
List the due date of the paper. The date should be listed in the order "day month year," and should not include abbreviations. For example, if your paper is due on December 8, 2008, then your page should now look like this:Annabelle WhitleyDr. Kingsley CharterEnglish 12128 December 2008
7
Center your title if you are required to have one. MLA style does not mandate that your paper have a title but most instructors do. Your title should be centered in the middle of the page. Do not add any extra spaces in between the information in the left-hand corner, the title and the beginning of the body of the paper.



2, what is an intext citation?
-----
when you provide information about the source in the text of their paper. Often, in-text citations include a signal phrase which gives the author's name and a parenthetical reference, which can include the author's name and the page number.

3, how do you format a long quote?
-----
 If the quote is more than one sentence, or more than three text lines, go to long quote format which is indented ½" from left and right margins and is single spaced.  No quotation marks are required, although the citation must go at the end of the last line.  To indent both margins in Word, use the Format, Paragraph menu commands and in the dialog box, under Indentation set both left and right at 0.5".  You can also set the line spacing to single in this dialog box.

Effect of cropping

Credit for the production of cash crops for export is an important programme in the Sahel. Now their overcultivation has almost destroyed the soil in the northern part of Senegal. Cotton farmers have a guaranteed market. After the harvest, the state-owned cotton company's lorries arrive to take away the crop. Next year, they will grow more cotton production has increased more than 30 times since independence in 1960, while food production has stagnated. Continuous cultivation of cotton is slowly destroying the Sahelian soil. Africa has less young and rich soils than any other continent, and the weathered sandy surface of the Sahel lacks many important elements. Traditionally, land was rotated between crops, or at least left fallow to enable the soil and vegetative cover to regenerate after cultivation. But farmers who take credit have to repay it through intensive use of the land. There is now very little eft fallow in the cotton-producing areas of the country. Cotton requires more pesticides than almost any other crop. The continuous use of cotton fertilizer, without the complementary addition of organic matter such as compost, is slowly acidifying the soil and reducing its fertility. Despite this ecological damage, cotton is a crop which is much encouraged in the Sahel by both Sahelian governments and their donors. Credit for cotton production is offered to men, without taking into account is effect on the other half oh the population. They have less time and energy to devote to their own essential food crops.

time is not wait...

Irrigation increases yields while reducing hunger and poverty.

By ensuring an adequate and reliable supply of water, irrigation increases yields of most crops by 100 to 400%...Although only 17% of global cropland is irrigated, that 17% produces 40% of the world's food.

how can africa survive?

This book shows vividly how the Africans are orbiting at the margins of a hightech world before they have even begun an industrial revolution that took Europe centuries to achieve. Also this book shows how the high expectations of the new nations were dashed by a harsh conjunction of nature, desperate competition for trade, and the conflict between tradition and modern economic realities. This book make us see how behavior that is rational and moral in a traditional society has bankrupted African nations today, and illustrates the handicaps the continent now faces in its attempt to catch up.

africa in crisis

In Africa, they have many probalems of natural. Droughts, famines, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes... six times more poeple died from natural disasters each year in the 1970s then in the 1960s. This book shows how poeple are changing their environment to make it more prone to disasters, and to make themselves more vulnerable. It shows that disasters mainly hit poor poeple in poor countries. The average Japanese disaster kills 63 poele. In Peru, the average death toll is 2,900. In 1974, a hurricane killed over 4,000 poeple in Honduras.  A similar hurricane in Darwin, Australia, killed only 49 poeple.
