I was writing an explanation and this was what I had to do to be successful in my explanation writing.
Here is what my introduction had to have:
Here is what my introduction had to have:
- Background information (hooking reading)
- End with a focus question
Paragraphs that explain they will have
- Lead sentences or subheadings to focus my ideas
- Technical language
- Sequencing words such as firstly, because, so, as a result, another reason, in summary
- End with a conclusion
Here is my explanation writing. ENJOY!
Eels Are An Endangered species
By Ricci
Sloppy, floppy, slimy, These words are how I, describe an eel. Eels are native to New Zealand. Eels go way back when the Maori came to New Zealand. But now….. They Are
An endangered species. Which means they could go extinct. My focus question is what is making a long fin eel threatened? That's, what i’m going to explain.
Commercial Fishing
Well, commercial fishing is when fishermen catch big fish for money (profit)
But what is endangering eels is that they are catching the older eels that are ready to spawn. But the thing is that if they catch a female eel that is ready to spawn that means that they can’t spawn. Spawning means that when an eel or something is going to have their babies they spawn a bunch of them. Pretty cool aye? Plus, another thing is that fishermen are catching tons and tons of big eels that are ready to spawn and they don’t care about the eels or they don’t know that they are actually a endangered species. But anyway they just do it for the big cash.
Spawning Problems
I’ve already explained what’s commercial fishing so here are some other things that are preventing them from spawning. Another reason that is preventing eels from spawning is hydro dams. Well when they are going to spawn sometimes there can be a hydro dam in the way. So this means that they get sucked into the propeller of it then die. So what they need to do is help the eels to get around it. Right?
How can we help?
Well what we can do is that if and eel get stuck or something we can catch the in a net and get them out of the dam. That is one thing we can do. Another thing we can do is that if you’re just a normal person fishing for eels and you catch a big female one. What do you do? You would put it back into the water, because they are making their way downstream to spawn. Another thing is, keep our creeks clean! because some creeks have polluted water and that’s not good for the eels. What you can do is keep the water clean.
Well, I have explained the things that I know that are preventing eels from spawning such as commercial fishing and hydro dams. I hope you take my advice and do the right thing if you catch an eel that is ready to spawn.
Comment down below to tell me what else you think that is preventing eels from spawning.
