HELPFUL HINTS If there’s a date range in the prompt, where should it go in your essay? For tomorrow’s prompt about the fall of empires, should you be writing about how the empires were similar in their rise and ruling styles? Is this a strong example of similarities/differences? They are similar because they both fell due to invaders. They are different because they were invaded by different people. Need 2 similarities, 2 differences, and a DRC (sim or dif) 5-7 pieces of evidence 2 pieces of analysis Write topic sentences first, then thesis, then essay! Study tonight!!! Your notecard will not have all the info you need!
