ENGL-1A-Composition and Reading-M6-22517 ◆ Switch To Light Mode The topics below would support the thesis that wealthy whites created the social construct of race to maintain the status quo with rich whites on top and the rest of us scrambling just to survive. To build a consistent argument you will need to bring your thesis down into EACH AND EVERY TOPIC SENTENCE OF ALL YOUR PARAGRAPHS. So if your thesis is about the rich you will need to mention them in all those topic sentences. A good way to approach this is to apply the following topic sentence formula: Topic Sentence = wealthy white elites + "race" + topic + your opinion. For example, "Wealthy white people created a pseudo-science based on "race" so that they could create an ideology of white racial supremacy, allowing them to maintain control over all aspects of economic and social life." Remember to use good sentence focus in your thesis and all your topic sentences. It is very tempting to start off the thesis with "race" or "the social construct of race."

It is very tempting to start off the thesis with "race" or "the social construct of race." There is nothing more abstract than "race" or "idea." If your thesis is about the wealthy whites controlling us through race, put the people (rich whites) at the beginning of your thesis. Be careful not to get to repetitive with the openings in your topic sentences. See if you can vary the beginnings somewhat. A few words about paragraph length: Everything in an essay needs to be proportional, meaning right-sized for the length of the essay. For a 4 or 5 page essay, you would want your paragraphs to be at least 2/3 to a page long. They need to be that long to get in the support you need (at least two sources) and also your own argument. Paragraphs in a 4-6 page essay can be one page or a page and a third, BUT paragraphs should not be much longer than that. You could have a two page paragraph in a 15 page essay because it would be right-sized for that length of essay.

Paragraphs in a 4-6 page essay can be one page or a page and a third, BUT paragraphs should not be much longer than that. You could have a two page paragraph in a 15 page essay because it would be right-sized for that length of essay. And you need at least THREE topics to support your argument. Possible topics on the theme of race and multiculturalism include: 1. What role does science play in turning race into a tool for the rich to stay on top? 2. What is the "race strategy" as brought out by our readings and how can that advance your thesis about race? 3. How does "one way assimilation" play a part in your essay argument? 4. What about the court system? 5. How does cultural pluralism or multiculturalism fit into the picture on how race is used in this country? ◄ Pr...us 26 21 000 000 Dashboard Calendar To Do Notifications Inbox/n4-6 pages double spaced freshman level writing
