Body Paragraph 2

Bring research part II to class tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will be going to the computer lab to type body paragraphs 1 & 2 (due at the end of class).

DON'T FORGET TEXT NOTES!

Second Body Paragraph: The History of the Abuse
The majority of this paragraph should be concrete details. You will need to pull together information from various parts of Research Part II for this section.

Tips:
1. You are telling the STORY of your abuse here, so WEAVE together facts. Don’t just create a list of information like you did for Research Part II. Organize it well!
2. If your paragraph becomes very, very long, please split it up. You might decide you want to talk about the political history of your country in one paragraph, and then describe the abuse itself in another.
3. Create clear topic sentences for each paragraph, if you write more than one. Weave together important CDs and CMS.

YOU SHOULD ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU CAN FROM RESEARCH PART II!

Example: (this is PART of one body paragraph)
One of the largest humanitarian crises facing the world today is the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. The roots of this crisis date back to the 1950s, when Sudan gained independence from Great Britain as a unified nation, despite major ethnic and religious differences among different groups in the nation (“Crisis”). The two groups in question are “black” Africans and Arab Africans, and although both groups are Muslim, they have fought over power for many years (Polgreen). This may be due to the lack of representation that blacks have in the Sudanese government. In the 1980s, a civil war broke out due to the tensions between these groups, and this civil war has continued for the last thirty years (Polgreen). The crisis continues today, with over 2.5 million people displaced from their homes and over 200,000 killed (“Sudan government”). In 2008, the Sudanese government attacked a refugee camp in Darfur (“Sudan government”). In a hopeful turn of events in late 2010, Sudan had a democratic vote to separate into two countries (Northern and Southern Sudan), and in February 2011 President Omar Al-Bashir accepted the results, which will create two separate countries as of July 2011 (Manson).
