For your second graded essay please practice your paragraph writing skills to describe how Kara Walker and Ai Weiwei create social change in their art. You should have 3 paragraphs and follow the outline I created below. Each paragraph should be at least ½ page.

Paragraph One (a little longer than half a page, min.):

• Topic sentence argument explicitly about how you think Kara Walker’s art creates change
• Expand your topic sentence with details about how she creates change.
  (This should be 4-6 sentences of evidence and you should be specific and cite particular art pieces. Use details from her art.)
• Final sentence of paragraph that restates your topic sentence in a different, more developed way.

Paragraph Two (a little longer than half a page, min.):

• Topic sentence argument explicitly about how you think Ai Weiwei’s art creates change
• Expand your topic sentence with details about how he creates change. (This should be 4-6 sentences of evidence and you should be specific and cite particular art pieces. Use details from her art.)
• Final sentence of the paragraph restates your topic sentence in a different, more specific way.

Paragraph Three(a little longer than half a page, min.)::

• Topic sentence argument that compares how Weiwei and Walker differently create change. Center on one main difference.
• Expand your topic sentence with details/evidence. This should be a few sentences drawing from specific examples in the videos/class discussion for each artist. Compare and contrast in this body section.
• Final sentence of the paragraph restates your topic sentence in a different, more developed way.

Papers should be 12 pt. Font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins all around, double spaced, properly indented with a proper heading. They should be around 1.5-2 pages long. No shorter than 1.5 pages, no longer than 2.
