2. Find a quotation to support your opinion
3. State something that you have learned from his life
4. Avoid using “I” or “My” statements

The paragraph is about the character traits- his personality- and not about the movie or his job. Be careful not to plot summarize your paragraph. If you summarize the film, or just summarize his life on Robben Island, you are writing off topic.  The focus is on describing his personality and the type of person he was during a time of social change in South Africa.Be  certain to focus on:

• words (adjectives) that best describe his personality.

• a quotation that is only being used by you that focuses on his personality, character.

• a paragraph is a paragraph.  DO not separate the sentences into various groups.
