  • Point - makes a general argument

  • Evidence - a specific fact or evidence from history that supports the point

  • Explanation - explain the significance of the evidence and how it proves your point

In class:

Essay structure:

Question: Compare and contrast the key features of civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt

"Opener": You should put your topic into historical context or define time period you will examine.

Linking statement: sends signals to your readers, highlighting the next point in your argument, linking to earlier ideas or clarifying the stage you have reached in your argument overall. (In IB History - Linking statement can be incorporated into the thesis statement)

Thesis statement:  A thesis statement is an interpretation of a question or subject - in IB History it also specifies categories you will examine in your essay (Support A, B, C).

Conclusion: The best way to end an essay is to restate your thesis and summarize your main points. Avoid including new information or minor details.

TRY TO AVOID:

- writing in first person

- using  “fluffy” language (this is not Creative Writing Course!)

- using informal language

-  irrelevant information (answer only the question - this is not Debate Club!)


Homework:

- use your notes and in class-reading and finish your own essay structure

- complete Support B, C (Support A must be about the agriculture)

- write conclusion 

- don´t forget to bring evidence for both sides in PEE format (see padlet)

Text:

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard:  see the text

34. LESSON:

Fall of the Roman Empire

- decline of roman power = slow process which last more than 200 years

Statement 1: The deposing of Romulus Augustulus, the last roman emperor on 4 September 476 AD meant the end of Roman empire!

- not valid - since 399 the empire was divided into two parts (Western and Eastern Empire)

- not valid - the roman empire survived in two ways:

1) Eastern Empire (Byzantine empire) - existed until 1453, use roman code of law, spoke Latin (later Greek), preserve roman culture (affected by Christianity)

2) source of inspiration on the West (laws, political structure, administration etc.) for new barbaric kingdoms 
 
- two types of decline - physical and mental

Statement 2: The Roman empire fell apart only due to barbarians invasion in 5th century AC!
