Grade 5 Writing Draft
Second, let’s start constructing sentences and write a draft:
Title
Protecting endangered animals
Paragraph 1- topic sentence/ what the problem is (talk about the problem in general)
Leave an indent Start with a capital letter
In 2022, there are 37,400 endangered species threatened with
extinction. What that means is that we are at risk of losing these animals
completely. But, why do animals become endangered in the first place?
There are number of reasons, for example, environmental pollution, loss of
habitat, and overhunting or fishing.
Paragraph 2- solution 1 and explanation with an example or fact
Leave an indent Start with a capital letter
So, what can be done to protect these endangered animals?! According to
scientists, the best way to protect them is to protect the places where they live. For
instance, saving the environment, the animals’ natural habitat, from air, water, and
land pollution by cleaning up waste and using eco-friendly products.
Paragraph 3- solution 2 and explanation with an example or fact
Leave an indent Start with a capital letter
Another solution to protect the endangered animals is to stop overhunting
them. At this point we should put more rules and laws to stop the harmful
overhunting and fishing in areas of endangered species animals. In addition to
putting up signs around those areas to educate people about it.
Paragraph 4- best possible solution, no new information. Should have a personal pronoun.
Leave an indent Start with a capital letter
Finally, it is very important to save animals from going extinct. Once gone,
they're gone forever, and there's no going back. I think that by doing both;
protecting the animals’ natural habitat as well as stopping overhunting,
endangered animals could be saved.
