In Process: Developing Support

image

For her informative essay on the use of DDT to prevent malaria, Ellen Page identified the following supporting points:

  1. The history of DDT use in preventing malaria
  2. The effects of DDT on humans and the environment
  3. The relative risks of using — and not using — DDT
  4. Alternatives to DDT

For her first draft, she expressed the third point as a general statement and offered evidence from a source to support it.
