[FORMATTING NOTE: DO NOT PLACE OUTLINE 1 AND OUTLINE 2 SIDE-BY-SIDE IN A TABLE.]
Outline 1 I . Reading says “let it burn” policy is not good for forests . Example: 1998 fire at Yellowstone National Park . II. Destroyed much nature at Yellowstone. III. Hurt or killed many animals. A. Large animals left the park B. Animal habitat destroyed IV. Hurtthetourist season,sothe park lost money. V. Lecturer says, “let it burn” policy is still good, even if it causes some problems. VI . Some plants can’t grow unless a fire occurs . VII. Animals came back to Yellowstone, and some animal even had better habitats than before. VIII . Big fires don’t happen every year, so it’s not an ongoing problem for tourists . IX . I agree with the reading. The destruction from fires these days is too great, even if there are some advantages . Outline 2 I . The lecturer addresses the specific concerns mentioned in the reading by giving further and more complete information. II . Although the fire killed some plants, this allowed other plants to grow that couldn’t before . Also, some plant seeds can only sprout after the high heat of a fire. III. Even though some animals ran away or were killed, the animal populations in Yellowstone did recover. In addition, some animals such as rabbits could find morefood afterthefire, because smaller plants could grow. Then predators that ate rabbits also came back. IV. A fire isn’t good for tourism, as the reading says, but fires like the Yellowstone fire are rare and do not happen everyyear.There hasn’t been a fire as big as the 1998 fire since then.
Exercise 2
Instructions • Prepare a sheet of paper for notetaking . Divide your paper into two columns: one for notes from the reading passage and the other for notes from the lecture . • Start by reading the passage that follows. Focus on identifying the main ideas and key details and write them in the left column. • Next, listen to the lecture and take notes in the right column. Pay attention to how the lecture challenges or opposes the ideas from the reading passage . • The question you will answer is: Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific theories presented in the reading passage. • Write your response.
