Power Writing
Rotation 15
CRAFT Project (Part 2)
Your final written work will be a 3 paragraph essay. The powergraph format
will be: 1-2-3-3-2-3-3-2-3-3-1. Individually work on your powergraph outline
using your research worksheets. After completing the powergraph outline, you
will be assigned a partner. You will go through each other’s powergraph outline
together. You must make one positive comment and one constructive
suggestion to your partner’s powergraph. Write these comments on the
bottom of their powergraph outline. Sign the bottom of your partner’s outline
when you are finished.
 When your powergraph plan is complete, you may type your powergraph into a
3 powergraph essay. Be sure to proofread your essay before printing. Once
you finish, find the same assigned partner and ask them to proofread your
paper. Your partner must write at least one positive comment and one
constructive comment on the bottom of your paper. When your partner
finishes, they should sign the bottom of your paper. Make the necessary
changes to your paper and turn in your rough draft AND final draft by the
assigned due date to your World Languages teacher.

Let’s look at an example
In our need for quality products at reasonable prices, do Americans
consider where our food comes from? Though we may think of
Cameroon as a small, distant country on the west coast of Africa,
agriculture in this country is important to both Cameroonians and
Americans. Seventy-five percent of the work force in Cameroon is
dedicated agriculture and the production of exports. The main crops
and resources that Americans import from Cameroon include oil,
coffee, and cocoa. Because we depend on these products, we
should care about the problems that farmers face. For example, the
Cameroonian government sets low prices for the good produced by
farmers, which leads to a limited income and poor living conditions.
Furthermore, workers face dangerous conditions in the oil rigs. As
consumers of their products, there are two important ways that
Americans should help support Cameroonian farmers. First, our
governments should work together to create better programs and
reasonable prices that are fair to both Cameroonians and Americans.
Second, Americans could help create safer working conditions,
especially around oil drilling sites. With fair government regulations
and safe working conditions, Americans and Cameroonians can
continue to thrive off a safe agriculture industry.
