Answer 9

ok thanks

Answer 10

Do not use opinions in something like an informative essay. So make sure you use facts. Also I would include some writings by people like Martin Luther King Jr and Cesar Chavez on things like the boycott, or other events that happened during the Civil Rights Movement.

Answer 11

Thanks!

Answer 12

You can give ethical appeals to something like this, but be careful as you don't stray into rabbit trails that go too deep, or else you can lose the reader. Introduce the people you are writing about. For example, " During the Civil Rights Movement, many African Americans were scared of the white extremists. On a bus (during such time) had a passenger by the name of (insert name) and she was brave enough to defy the laws that separated whites from blacks. She was brave." Then continue on with what happened and tell the audience about what it helped create and where it took the movement. Does this make sense?
