The Famous Five Paragraph Essay

Today students are writing and editing a five paragraph essay.  For practice we will answer the question "Are School Lunches Worth Eating?".  

After writing, editing, and scoring the essay, we will be ready to tackle our first big question in eighth grade social studies:  "Were Pre-Columbian Native Americans Worthy of Respect?"

The question centers around the big idea that every civilization has culture.  Students will argue that there were indeed economic, social, and political aspects of Native American civilizations before the Europeans arrived in North America.

This assignment will be due by the end of the period for 2-5th periods and on Monday at the beginning of the period for periods 7 and 8.
