  4. PEEL paragraph • POINT: What is the single key point that you are trying to make. Use the words in your question to start your answer. • EXPLAIN: Elaborate. Provide details about the features and characteristics of the key point. What? Why? How? • EVIDENCE: Include facts, figures, statistics or case studies to support your key point. • Link: Show how this point is important to the question. This should sum up your point.

  5. POINT EXPLAIN EVIDENCE LINK One habitat under threat is Coral Reefs. These beautiful habitats face many threats. Coral reefs are mostly at threat as a result of human activities. The main threat is the deposition of eroded soil that is caused by deforestation, construction, agriculture, mining, dredging, poor land management & coastal population growth. This smothers coral polyps and blocks sunlight. Other threats include pollution, sewerage, oil spills, tourism and mining of coral limestone for building. Scientists estimate that humans have caused the death of 10% of the worlds coral reefs. Another 60% are threatened or in critical condition. Coral reefs are under threat and without action, these environments may be lost. Let me show you..Describe one habitat that is under threat and the key threats facing that environmentI am writing about Coral Reefs…

  6. Lets look at another example

  7. Coasts are threatened habitats • Coasts are a threatened habitat that face many threats. The causes of coastal habitat loss include; dredging, toxic waste, sewerage, oil production, overfishing, deforestation and construction and agriculture on the coastline. In some countries up to 80% of original mangrove areas is believed to be lost. More extensive losses have occurred in the last 50 years. Indeed the Mediterranean today is still threatened by regular oil spills and untreated sewerage from a number of countries including Greece. A failure to protect our coasts will not only result in a loss of marine biodiversity, but will also harm our fishing industries.
