tonight in class, we went over some advice about how to do this paper. Here is that advice:
1. For sure you will want to use keyword phrases to start off your paragraphs. The key word phrases are of course taken from the essay questions. So, for example, a possible keyword phrase for Q5 might be: One of the ways to create change in the heart of a bigot is.....
Below are the 5 questions---in italics is the advice we offered for each question:
What exactly is “Privilege”?
This is basically a question that asks you to define the word. The trick here is NOT to use the dictionary. Put it in your own words, and use some clever examples that are your own (you could also use examples from our prompts.) This question can be answered in 1 or 2 paras. You dont need to Rule of 3 this question.

What is the connection between Privilege and Racism /Heterosexism/Classism?

Look for strong verbs to describe the interactions you see. For example, you could perhaps lay out an opening topic sentence like this: One of the connections between Privilege and Racism / Heterosexism / Classism is that Privilege often hides the kinds of violent behaviors associated with these "isms" behind a veneer of 'civilized' behavior....

What are possible shortcomings in the “Live and Let Live” philosophy and how are these shortcomings tied to the notion of Privilege?
Can you see that this is actually 2 different questions. You should consider doing 2 diff paras.

McIntosh says privilege is “invisible”—what does she mean and do you agree with her?
In light of Privilege, what particular challenges are there to opening the heart of a bigot—that is, in creating some change in them?
FOR SURE this Question should be Rule of 3. You should come up with 3 diff ways that bigots can be changed. this means 3 diff paras....
SO, you are looking at 10-12 body paras, along with your 3 para intro that features Hook, Book, and Cook.
