Alexander the Great - Essay Day

Today we ventured into the sea of Chromebook. We began our essay response test over Alexander the Great. We will pick up tomorrow where you left off and complete your essay by the end of class. We should be able to begin right at the start as you all know how to fire up your machines and get to your documents. Please do not work on your essay, on Google Drive, at home as this is an assessment. As you learned in class today you are able to use your pre-write, notes, and transition sheets to complete your essay.

Test Tips: (essay)
*Some banned words for your essay: very, stuff, things, really, got, and there may be more but these come to mind.
*Indent your paragraphs. You may skip a space between paragraphs, if you wish.
*Avoid, at all costs, using "you" and "I" in your response.
*Never begin a sentence with "And".
*Don't use questions in your title (if you title your response) or your introduction. In fact, there should not be any questions in your response, if you can help it. Re-phrase any question you may want to use into a statement and back it up with source a citing.
