here's stuff you can refer to for your essay-
1. talk about historic importance of wood. maybe you can start with how man realized that trees give shade as well as food. then one day he invented fire and surprisingly wood could burn. so that'd how it became the main source of fire for cooking, for keeping animals away and for barbequeing meat.
2. then come to the modern era, maybe the time of colanisation and the relevance of wood in building war machines, boats, ships that aided discovery of newer lands and settlements.
3. move to today's ear and what we use wood for today. I think the modern uses muct be known to you.
Hope that helps. Though i've just given the basic framework, you'll have to go to google and do some serach now to elaborate it!
