TEA paragraphs
Two TEA paragraphs means paragraph in the format of Topic sentence —then– Evidence —-then— Analysis
Your term paper asks you to examine how one particular social issue is discussed by different sides of the political spectrum. The book gives you a glimpse of the American right, and in today’s post, you’ll write two TEA paragraphs in which you analyze what the book tells you about conservatives’ views on your chosen issue.
Remember that you can choose between these issues:
- Affirmative Action
- Jobs
- Race
- Religion
- Sexuality
- Taxation
- Welfare
- Immigration
Pick one issue, and analyze in two TEA paragraphs (with clear topic sentences) what conservatives think about this topic.
Think of this as the first few paragraphs of your term paper.

Once you have been assigned a partner, give them feedback. ( I will give it to you on Firday)
- How strong are the topic sentences?
- How good is the evidence? Is there any other evidence that might be useful?
- Is more summary needed?
- Is more analysis needed?
Write your response in a healthy paragraph.
