Body Paragraph 3- Write your third research question
Write your Claim #3- one reason to support your thesis
Use Evidence: What evidence will you use to support this statement?
(Evidence can be a quote, paraphrase, example, fact, literary connection, etc.)
Source: Add your parenthetical (in-text) citation.
Write your Analysis: Explain what this evidence means for your topic. How does it support your claim?
(Topic: Were you aware that human actions are inflicting the ecosystems of our world irreparable harm?)
(First research question: In what way is global warming impacted by deforestation?)
(Second research question: What effects does pollution have on marine life in our seas?)
Research Question #3: How does overfishing contribute to the decline of marine ecosystems?
Claim #3: Overfishing is a significant factor in the depletion of marine ecosystems around the world.
Evidence: According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund, "over 85% of the world's fisheries are fully exploited, over-exploited, or have collapsed." (WWF)
Analysis: This evidence shows that overfishing is a widespread problem that is putting immense pressure on marine ecosystems. When fish populations are depleted beyond sustainable levels, it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem and lead to cascading negative effects on other species and the overall health of the ocean. This supports the claim that overfishing is a major contributor to the decline of marine ecosystems.
