INSTRUCTIONS:
THE EVIDENCE MUST BE USED FROM THE CHAPTERS POSTED BELOW. NO EVIDENCE FROM OTHER INTERENT SOURCES
In either TWO or FOUR body paragraphs, write about Chapters 5 & 6 and the associated Canvas Studio Videos, as well as pick your ONE theme
, giving specific examples from each chapter of that ONE theme. Begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence (see Writing Checklists
handout).
Note that the specific time periods and places in Athens are included on the 5thcAthensdates
handout (under Canvas “Files”). Remember that the time periods must be specific: such as Etruscans prior to being conquered by Rome (3rd century BCE); early Rome (753 BCE); the Period of Kings (625-510 BCE); Republican Rome (509-31 BCE); Imperial Rome (31 BCE-476 BCE); Augustine’s reign (r. 31 BCE-14 CE), or some other Emperor’s specific reign.
Remember: except for picking your ONE theme, all written work this week (rough draft Introduction paragraphs, and possible 1-sentence predictive thesis statements) will be ROUGH DRAFTS — literally pre-writing for your upcoming essay, as the next essay (“pap2
” assignment under Canvas “Files”) will be on Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 (NOT just on this week’s Chapters 5 & 6).
Your posts should be either two OR four paragraphs, each beginning with a body paragraph topic sentence. Use the Writing Checklists
handout. Your reviews must be substantive and thoughtful.
