Second Draft of Short Report - Due Tuesday, Dec. 11

You should rework your short report so that each paragraph follows the organizational goals as follows:

Paragraph One:
Explain and define ideas, event, person, trend, dates, location related to the importance of the topic

Paragraph Two:
Explain the KEY EVENT(S) that make this topic important

Paragraph Three:
Explain the importance of the topic in relationship to:
1. related important events, people, or topics
OR
2. how this event changed history in a major way
OR
3. how this event or topic is related to modern events show important similarities

Also,

1. If you use a historic quote:
a. give the name of the person who wrote or said it, and when they lived.
b. make sure the quote is explained in the context of your short report's topic or key point you are trying to explain.

The rewrite must work on developing better
Ideas - facts, details, related information to the main theme or point of the essay
Organization - that the information and explanations appear in the correct paragraphs in an order that makes the information easy to understand.
