  1. How do I write a paragraph? Taking your outline and developing full, well-written paragraphs.

  2. Rule #1 for your Paragraph The first sentence of your paragraph must be a sub-claim that supports the main claim for your paper. Courts are only as fair as the people involved in the trial process, so imperfect humans disqualify the courts from being perfectly fair.

  3. Rule #2 for your Paragraph Each paragraph must have 2-3 pieces of evidence My evidence: Cunningham on jury (TKAM) Unfair judge in Saudi case (news article) Prejudice still exists

  4. Rule #3 for your Paragraph Each piece of evidence must support the sub-claim for that paragraph. Check: does each piece of evidence support the sub-claim? Why must it?

  5. Rule #4 for your Paragraph You must explain and develop each piece of evidence Is just listing the evidence enough? My evidence: Cunningham on jury (TKAM) Unfair judge in Saudi case (news article) Prejudice still exists

  6. Rule #5 for your Paragraph The paragraph should end with a transition to the next paragraph. Think ahead…tie all the paragraphs together.

  7. What your finished paragraph should look like… Courts are only as fair as the people involved in the trial process, so imperfect humans disqualify the courts from being perfectly fair. For example, in the trial that Tom Robinson receives in To Kill a Mockingbird, the jury is biased. Atticus says that one of the Cunninghams was on the jury, and as readers we know that he was among the men who came to disturb the peace at the jail the night before. The Cunningham relative, then, was prejudiced toward Tom Robinson and wanted him hurt or even dead. Because the jury included men like this Cunningham relative, the jury was unfair. Like this experience in To Kill a Mockingbird, the judge of a recent court case in Saudi Arabia was also prejudiced. In a case in Saudi Arabia where a woman is on trial for driving, the judge will be a man who has restrictive and prejudicial beliefs about women. In a news article about this trial, it was noted that “at court, you only have two options: either the judge issues a sentence or closes the case” because of the restriction placed on women. This example shows that prejudice still exists. A jury or a judge cannot be perfectly unbiased or perfectly fair, making courts sometimes unfair.
