If you missed class today, you missed getting the essay choices for Monday and the take-home quiz that will be due Tuesday. Here are the directions for preparing for the in-class essay on Monday:
Pre-AP Pre-history Essay
For your first essay you will choose one of the following questions:
Compare the Neolithic settlements of Catal Huyuk and Jericho. You will want to focus on the architecture and design of the settlements. Why were they so different?
How did tools change from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic Age? Give some specific examples showing the evolution of stone tools.
Compare the hunting gathering life-style of the Paleolithic Age to the sedentary life-style of the Neolithic Revolution. Include advantages and disadvantages of each way of life. Why did the sedentary life-style become predominant?
Reminders:
You must come Monday with your graphic organizer and thesis statement ready. (A graphic organizer is an outline, or a chart, or a mind map--something to help you write your essay.)
Formal essay with a thesis statement
Three paragraphs: introduction, body, conclusion
Third person only (never use I, you, we, us, etc.)
Past tense only – this is a history essay!
No contractions or other “short hand” words
Blue or black ink pen only
Turn in your graphic organizer stapled to your essay.
PROOFREAD!!!!
Have a good week-end everyone! It is supposed to be a little cooler.
