How are social studies writing assignments different than English Writing Assignments?

• Social Studies assignments don’t EVER use “I” or “you” or “we”, so don’t write “I think that…” Instead just say what you think as a claim.

• Social Studies assignments always use Formal Language so avoid slang, or words like “stuff”, “hella”, “sucked” and so on. Find formal words to say the same things. Look on the walls and the next slide!

• No Rhetorical Questions!• You don’t need a Hook!• No Filler! Just get to the point

• Academic transition Words• Transitions- also, again, as well as, besides, coupled with,

furthermore, in addition, likewise, moreover, similarly, • To indicate evidence: chiefly, especially, for instance, in particular,

markedly, namely, particularly, including, specifically, such as, for example, for instance, for one thing, as an illustration, illustrated with, as an example, in this case
