Mini Lesson:
Since we are creating a PERSUASIVE research project, you will include in-text citations in order to make your audience care about your topic. Read and discuss the following articles and pay attention to the personal accounts from survivors and killers. Personal accounts are included in order to pull at the audience's heart strings and sway them to your side. This is called pathos. Doesn't hearing from the survivors mouths make the topic more emotional?
 * Rwandan Survivor
 * The Rwandan Girl Who Refused to Die

Independent Work Time
Divide a piece of paper into four sections. Answer the following questions in the sections:

 * 3) Describe one of your sources that will make me care about your topic.
 * 4) Find 5 more sources that will make me care and that you can use in your text
