Foreign Policy Writing Part II

As a result of PARCC testing next week, We've decided to reduce the tasks that we're asking you to complete as an assessment at the end of our WWI unit. Thus, instead of completing parts II and III of the foreign policy writing assignment, you only need to complete part II.  Here are the full instructions for that part:
II.  America at War and Just War Theory -- Round Two
Use Just War Theory to analyze our participation in World War One
You will write one fully developed paragraph.  The paragraph will focus on at least ONE aspect of Just War theory (with the exception of “Proper Authority,” which may not be used).  Your  paragraph must include a topic sentence that makes an assertion about that aspect of Just War Theory.  That assertion should be supported using three pieces of specific historical evidence.  Analysis of each piece of evidence must clearly develop the argument of the paragraph.
You may NOT use the same element of Just War Theory as you used in section I (your paragraph on the Spanish-American or Philippine-American wars).
Your paragraph must be in your Google folder AND submitted to turnitin.com by class time on Monday, March 16.

For your consideration: 
Here are two Section I paragraphs that DID NOT meet the standards and expectations of the assignment.
Here are two Section I paragraphs that MET or EXCEEDED the standards and expectations of the assignment.
