Write and present an explanatory essay about how the perspectives of others — people of a
different race, religion, culture, or gender — can teach us something about ourselves. You may
focus on a specific group of people or cover several different examples as long as all the
information you present supports a central claim.
Your essay should include the following elements:
 A claim supported by evidence from researched sources
 Background information about at least one group of "others"
 An introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph
 Digital media that supports your explanation
 A works-cited page that lists your sources
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you
haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.
Ask yourself these questions as you revise:
 Is my claim a statement that requires explanation and support? Does it clearly say
something about how the perspectives of others can teach us about ourselves?


