Writing Notes



Today, some of you all shared some very impressive writing with the rest of the class, and we are very thankful for having heard your awesome work. Some of the things which were done well are:
Introductions featuring fantastically detailed descriptions of horror, which instantly grab the reader's attention.
Allusions to the Preamble to the Constitution and God Bless America when mentioning the hypocrisy of America, which condemns the genocide but at the same times sells weapons to Sudanese government and Janjaweed, which are killing innocent men, women, and children.
Many of you displayed a great understanding of the audience, evidenced by your emotional appeals, which were also, subsequently substantiated by your discussion and constant presentation of facts and other information.
The inclusion of first person or primary information, in the form of quotes and descriptions paraphrased from survivors of the Darfur genocide, conveyed authority and compassion in ways that were beyond surprising and intellectually startling.Make sure that you take the time this weekend to continue working on your papers, so that they can be in fine shape when you present them to the popular figure of your choice. Furthermore, read over the many notes that you have taken from your peers work, that we learn and better ourselves as a result of our interaction with one another.Be safe and have a great holiday weekend.
