The Famous Five Paragraph Essay

This week we worked on a five paragraph essay to answer the question: "Are school lunches worth eating?" The question itself was not especially important, but it gave us a starting point for a formative assessment. Students learned how to write a five paragraph essay, used a scoring guide to score it, then had an opportunity to make it better.
Now that everyone has a firm grasp on the mechanics, we are answering a new question: "Were Pre-Columbian Native Americans worthy of respect?" Students will have a week to work on researching, and writing the perfect five paragraph essay. Unlike the first, this one will be graded!
