What's your point? (thesis):

What three reasons do you have that will back up your point?

1) Factories

2) Cars/ Trucks

3) Dirty Water

What is your first reason and three to five facts to support it? Factory related pollution is the number one source of pollution in the United States.

What is your second reason and three to five facts to support it?

What is your third reason and three to five facts to support it? This waste water from industrial factories is discharged into lakes, oceans and streams, which eventually disperse the polluting effluent substances. The United States Environmental Protection Agency stated in 1996 to Congress that about 40% of the country’s surveyed rivers, estuaries and lakes were too polluted for such elementary uses as swimming, fishing and drinking water supply.Common factory-emitted water pollutants include phosphates, asbestos, mercury, nitrates, grit, caustic soda and other sodium compounds, sulfuric acid, sulfur, oils and petrochemicals.

Based on your research, what conclusions would you make and how does your research connect to your life? I would conclude that we should be more conservitave with our pollution. We should think the next time we throw something out of the window of our cars.

Ideas on how you are going to present? Involve the class? Be exciting? Interesting? Wow? Huh? Ahhh? First sentence: Have you ever thought when you threw that garbage wrapper out of the window of your car? Have you though about where it goes? I bet you almost all of you have not. I will tell you where it goes.
