My Personal Impression

I enjoyed reading through this essay for children. I found it such a good read that I read it to my nine-year-old daughter and asked her for her opinion on it. Her reaction was surprise over how very much trees do for us. She learned about trees creating oxygen in school, but I don't think she realized that there are also many other benefits to planting more trees.

Strengths

The structure of this piece was very effective. It was presented in clear language, easy enough for children to understand, but not so easy that it talked down to the targeted age group. There were times that she stopped me to talk about what it stated, but she didn't need clarification. That tells me that the word choices were effective and understandable.

The tone was friendly while maintaining the objectivity of a teacher. There was a sense of encouragement in the way the information was presented, and I think it would work well to get children thinking about what they could do.

The thing I like the most about this piece was that it targeted children. I believe that if we are to really make a difference in our environment, then every little bit that we contribute is worth the effort. This piece showed that way of thinking because while children can't do as much as adults, them understanding and knowing at a young age will spur them to get the adults in their lives involved, and by the time they are adults, it will be second nature to them. Well done.

Suggestions

I found no errors in this piece, and I have no suggestions for improvement.

In Conclusion

All in all, I think this was a well written, informative essay for children to learn about the role that trees play in our continued survival, as well as a great way to make them see that every little bit helps.

Thank you for posting your work and allowing me to comment on it. If you do not agree with my suggestions, that is just fine. They are definitely yours to do with what you wish.
