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.

• No Rhetorical Questions!

• You don’t need a Hook!

One more thing to look for….• In your own paragraph look for this:

• Do you have more than one Thesis statement?• If you talk about three reasons Columbus

risked his life, they need to all be in the one thesis statement. It isn’t skillful writing to have three topic sentences in one paragraph. That would work if you had more than one paragraph in this essay, but we don’t. We’re doing ONE paragraph, so you need ONE thesis.

Key concepts from Greek and Roman Democracy:Check your work and add to your papers!

People can think, reason, investigate and invent new things and ideas to solve complex problems.

People do get corrupted by power. Dividing the power can keep people honest and government uncorrupted.

People can make good judgments and they know right from wrong. They can use reason to decide if someone is guilty so juries work.

Direct democracy works in small groups of people, but larger groups need indirect democracy (AKA a republic) where elected leaders make government more efficient and manageable.

Laws need to be written down, so you know what they say.

Bad laws can be thrown out

Laws apply to everyone even powerful leaders.

Innocent until proven guilty

Ancient World Contributions to Democracy

Greek Traditions in Democracy- Government is needed to control the people, keep peace and solve problems in large societies People have the ability to use reason to solve problems People will make good decisions if they are given the chance, thus giving people a vote works People have good judgment, so letting them decide a case with a jury works Three Branches, Legislative to make laws, Executive to enforce laws, and Judicial to decide the laws

Roman Traditions in Democracy- When a society gets too big, a direct vote is too difficult. Then people can choose representatives to represent them and so Representative Democracy is formed. Laws are written down so the people in power can’t change them whenever it suits them Citizens get Equal Treatment under the law Citizens are innocent until proven guilty The accuser must have proof, not the accused

Please make sure Pg. 25A looks like this

Jewish, Christian and Islamic Traditions in Democracy Laws are written down, so you know exactly what they are People have the ability to know right from wrong People are valuable as individuals with the ability to reason and make choices People have Moral Responsibility to do the right thing, fight injustice and help the needy People are Equal before God
