8. PEET & Argumentative Paragraphs In an argumentative paragraph, there will always be a focus question that you have to answer. Example focus question:

9. PEET & Argumentative Paragraphs In an argumentative paragraph, there will always be a focus question that you have to answer. Example focus question: Was African resistance to colonialism effective? Why or why not?

10. PEET & Argumentative Paragraphs In an argumentative paragraph, there will always be a focus question that you have to answer. Example focus question: Was African resistance to colonialism effective? Why or why not? The argument comes in when you actually prove why your answer is correct.

11. Focus Question: Was African resistance to colonialism effective? Why or why not? P (point): Answering the focus question. Saying what it is you are going to prove and alluding to points you will make in your paragraph. Example:

12. Focus Question: Was African resistance to colonialism effective? Why or why not? P (point): Answering the focus question. Saying what it is you are going to prove and alluding to points you will make in your paragraph. Example: African resistance to colonialism was effective because it helped Africans gain more rights in some instances and actually maintain their independence in others.

13. Now that you have your point, it is time to prove it. E (evidence): facts or examples from the text that help you prove your point

14. Now that you have your point, it is time to prove it. E (evidence): facts or examples from the text that help you prove your point Examples: ______ “In 1896…Ethiopian forces successfully defeated the Italians and kept their nation independent” (MWH 349). ______ “The Germans were shaken by the rebellion and its outcome. As a result, they made some government reforms in an effort to make colonialism more acceptable to the Africans” (MWH 349).

15. In order to explain your evidence and have it make sense for the reader, you need to have an Explanation for each piece of evidence. E (Explanation) – 1.gives the reader enough context and background information to understand the point 2.tells the reader how or why the evidence given proves their point 3.Provides transitions and continuity throughout your writing

16. Evidence Example: (Point & Evidence, without an Explanation) You do NOT just give the evidence without giving context for the reader: African resistance to colonialism was effective because it helped Africans gain more rights in some instances and actually maintain their independence in others. “The Germans were shaken by the rebellion and its outcome. As a result, they made some government reforms in an effort to make colonialism more acceptable to the Africans” (MWH 349).

17. Evidence Example: (Point, Evidence, and Explanation) When given context, the reader understands why the evidence proves your point: African resistance to colonialism was effective because it helped Africans gain more rights in some instances and actually maintain their independence in others. For example, in 1905 over 20 ethnic groups in East Africa united to fight the German colonists there. Although the Germans officially put down this resistance, “The Germans were shaken by the rebellion and its outcome. As a result, they made some government reforms in an effort to make colonialism more acceptable to the Africans” (MWH 349). This rebellion forced the Germans into giving the East Africans more rights under their colonial rule.

18. Evidence Example: (Point, Evidence, Explanation) What would a good EXPLANATION for our 2 nd piece of evidence be?? For example, in 1905 over 20 ethnic groups in East Africa united to fight the German colonists there. Although the Germans officially put down this resistance, “The Germans were shaken by the rebellion and its outcome. As a result, they made some government reforms in an effort to make colonialism more acceptable to the Africans” (MWH 349). This rebellion forced the Germans into giving the East Africans more rights under their colonial rule. __________________________ _________________________“In 1896…Ethiopian forces successfully defeated the Italians and kept their nation independent” (MWH, p. 349). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This rebellion forced the Germans into giving the East Africans more rights under their colonial rule. Another example of African resistance occurred in 1896, when Ethiopians battled Italian colonists in the Battle of Adowa. “In 1896…Ethiopian forces successfully defeated the Italians and kept their nation independent” (MWH 349). The Ethiopian resistance is an example of Africans successfully fighting off European colonizers and remaining independent!

20. T (Tie back to point) – 1.statement that makes a clear connection between evidence and explanations given and your original point 2.provides a strong concluding sentence that explains the significance or importance of your point (answers the “So What?”)

21. T (Tie back to point) – statement that makes a clear connection between evidence and explanations given and your original point; provides a strong concluding sentence that explains the significance or importance of your point (answers the “So What?”) Example: In conclusion, some forms of African resistance to colonialism were effective. The Maji Maji Rebellion gave East Africans more rights, and the Ethiopians successfully defeated the Italians and kept their independence! The effectiveness of these resistance movements is important to note because it shows that powerful European countries do not always win. “The people” can always come together to fight against unjust systems, and sometimes they will win.
