5. 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!

6. 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.

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

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

49. Renaissance and Reformation Traditions in Democracy
People can teach themselves and have the ability to reason
People are valuable as individuals with the ability to think new and better ideas
People have the right to challenge their leaders, both religious and political
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
