P1- Should provide the title of the source, a very brief summary of the text and say what students hope to critique-argue in P2.Ā Students need to provide an argument-thesis driven statement. A summary alone is neither desirable nor enough to thoroughly complete the assignment.
P2- Should be an analytical paragraph that provides (at least) one example from the text to support the authorās claimā¦ie. The slaveās story provides insight into the cruelty of the system, āinsert quotation from text here.āĀ Using direct quotations provides clarity and helps to support the authorās claims.
P3- Should summarize briefly what was covered in P1 and P2 and also say something about the significance of this document for the study of world history and how it shows global interconnectivity. (How is the world connected?)Ā Do not throw this paragraph away, put as much effort into it as P1 and P2.
