Historical Essay Information

So far, they should have their first 2 paragraphs complete and written neatly on notebook paper.  Today we began writing the third paragraph.  We will complete it on Monday, it is not homework.  

On Monday, they will give a 2 minute speech telling the class what they have learned about their location so far.  They should write this short speech out on a notecard or sheet of paper, and practice giving their speech over the weekend.  Several students began practicing their speech in class today.  

Here is the structure of the essay due Wednesday. 

Paragraph One: Describe the looks of the location.  

Paragraph Two:  Describe how the location was developed/founded.  Who was involved in its establishment or discovery.  Dates...

Paragraph Three: Describe why the location is famous.  What makes it interesting?  

On Monday we complete the third paragraph and for homework they will neatly write their final copy.  I will collect them on WEDNESDAY.  I would like them to include a visual on an 8x10 piece of paper and have a title page.  We will complete the title page here.  They may need to put everything neatly together at home to be turned in.
