Honors/General: Both classes will be working on the same assignment although there will be differences in the preparation of the essay.
Students have been reading about the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta. There are many ways that they can be compared. Our goal is to successfully write a five paragraph essay. This week students created their own questions regarding the two and used them to quiz each other. At the beginning of next week, we will sort through the information and create a graphic organizer. Students will then use that information to write their essays. There will be three focus corrections areas. One half of the grade will be based on the comparisons (at least three). A quarter of the grade will come from the introduction and conclusion paragraphs combined. Finally, the last quarter of the grade will come from the proper usage of end punctuation and capitalization. More details will follow as we progress.
Reminder: There will be a map quiz on half the countries of Europe on Friday.
