From the list above, select one type of prejudice
Paragraph one:
1. You will begin with a hook sentence to grab the
reader and introduce your theme or central
idea, which is prejudice and discrimination.
(consider a generic / general statement about what prejudice is and how the harm affects or impacts society and individuals.)
2. In your next sentence you will narrow down to
your chosen topic. Read the definition; then put
this in your own words; paraphrase what that
means.
3. Conclude this paragraph by responding in general
terms to the impact of this prejudice. Think who,
what.
Paragraph 2
1. YOU NEED to transition* into your next
paragraph to focus on two potential scenarios or
situations where someone might experience
discrimination. Consider social, economic,
political or educational. This is a short writing
assignment, so choose only two and write a
succint (clear and to the point) example.
2. Your last one or two sentences should be a
statement on what happens when one is not
prejudice. This will depend upon your topic
choice.
*
Make sure to proof read! I suggest strongly that you read what your wrote aloud. Capitalization? Correct Punctuation? Spelling?
You will not need to use "I think, I believe" or any other iteration of these words. You make a statement. You are supporting this.
Avoid it! When you want to use this pronoun, select a synonym.
Any time you start your sentence with If (I, he, she, they), use were. If takes the subjunctive tense.
