Homework: Chapter 6: Lesson B


Read the article “Apartheid in South Africa” starting on page 110 and discuss the following questions with your language partner or imaginary friend:

(i) which information did the author use that probably came from another source?

(ii) what words do you think are key ones in the essay?

(iii) what do you think is the authors thesis statement? Do you think it is well supported in the rest of the essay? Are there any places that need more support or somewhere something should be deleted?

(iv) What direct causes of poverty does the author mention? What indirect ones?

(v) How is the essay brought to a close? If you couldn’t see the white space at the end of the essay, would you have known it was ending?
