  2. I have a question about the noun test. Are the examples in each paragraph real situations that happened to other people? Also on the rubric it says that you have to include 3 specific examples in separate paragraphs. Does that mean you have to include a example in each paragraph? Thanks. Maddie 3/4 block

  3. The three specific examples means this: Let's say that your argument is that we are NOT equal, and your three reasons are 1. treating people differently because of age, 2. treating people differently because of gender, and 3. treating people differently because of race. Those three reasons would then become your three main paragraphs of the essay. In each of those three paragraphs, your argument/thesis will be much more convincing if you can bring in actual, real-world examples, facts, or statistics. Does that make sense? If not, I can try to explain it another way. And you can always send me your paper to look over before it's due on Tuesday. Hope that helps!

    1. on our noun assessment if we have the phrase "United States" would that count as both a proper noun and a compound noun or just one of the 2
