Faces at the Bottom of the Well Assignment The prompt for the paper is :”How is racism evident in American Society?” One easy way to make a thesis statement is to just turn the prompt or question around. Something like: “Racism is evident in American society as seen by A and B and C.” or something like that. You will start with an Intro paragraph with the thesis at the end. Then, Instead of one body paragraph for each of the 3 points you identify in the thesis, you will write TWO paragraphs (for EACH of the THREE ABC Points). One of the two paragraphs will use a quote from the book, and the other paragraph will use a quote from a current event article (last 5 years). That’s six total body paragraphs. Then a conclusion paragraph. 8 total paragraphs, 3 pages. Paper reminders • No if statements • Use Active Voice • No Contractions • Complete sentences (Check to make sure all sentences have a subject and a verb. • References (limit the use of it, they, he, she.
