Structure of the Paper:
I. Introduction: hook and ladder; thesis COMPLETED!
II. Background of Social Issue
III. What a person, people, group, organization is currently doing to battle/to address the injustice?
IV. Conclusion: Call-to-action, if/then, solution
Information on completing the conclusion paragraph can be found in the introductory and concluding paragraph attachment on this page, but the paragraphs providing the background and definition of the social injustice and the following paragraph which illustrates what a person or organization is doing to combat the issue will be largely composed by you, and without assistance.
Make sure to follow these specifications when printing your final draft. For your rough draft, follow these specifications but feel free to print two pages to one AND double-sided.
Technical Specifications:
You must print one copy of your rough draft, so please consider saving paper.
Lastly, I'm opening a new discussion board for you to talk about your writing. Simply drop portions of your paper into the discussion board, ask for feedback, or perhaps submit portions of your paper to give others a benchmark for comparison. I might also appear on the discussion board to give advice.
CAUTION: The discussion board is to be used for academic purposes only. Please keep in mind that I will be viewing the boards. Use your personal social media accounts for social purposes and the discussion board to increase the quality of your composition. On that note, remember the work we've put in with verbs, adjectives, adverbs, phrases, and clauses. Write thoughtful sentences.
