Alexander the Great Essay

Hello! Today students discussed the directions for the prewrite  and completed them together. Then students wrote on the their own the actual essay. We talked about introduction and how they should draw the reader in and introduce the topic in general. We also talked about transitions, reminded them about how to site sources and the strucure of the essay. Most students finished this in class, but those that didn't will need to spend up to 15 minutes finishing this at home. We will mark the essay up tomorrow so students can see where they are with their writing. This will not be a grade, but next week we will complete another Greece unit assessment very similar in format to this one.
