Guidance on Addressing the Topic:
Before you embark on writing the essay, you need to read carefully Unit 9 “Modeling Nature” in order to familiarize yourself with the topic at large and make use of the specialized vocabulary items in your essay.
You are strongly advised to consult sources on the topic and widen your knowledge of the topic under consideration, but it is of the utmost importance to document any words or ideas that are not your own.
Once you have the material ready, it is advisable that you follow the steps (1-7) indicated in the section above to avoid omitting sub-questions. Although the topic is from Unit 9, you should demonstrate your knowledge of the reading strategies covered in other units, as well as the words covered in those units.
