Mr. Nack, for the 2008 one can we have only two supporting paragraphs, one for each of the two categories with supporting reasons?
Maybe for the third body paragraph you could compare and/or contrast the African American culture with the American culture? Or maybe you could talk about how the ways African Americans were treated went against the Bible? Ways the African American culture of that time is still seen today? Just some ideas.
Mr. Nack I was told you collected the essay’s today and I never turned mine in, was it by chance when I went to see Mrs. Wright, anyway I tried to come and give it to you after school and you weren’t there so I just said I will give it to you tomorrow. I hope it’s alright.
That is fine. I think it was while you were with Mrs. Wright.
