19. Prompt from the last informative VLT:
You have read two texts about historical leaders. Each text provides information about these leaders and their accomplishments. The two texts are:
“Suleiman the Magnificent” and “Nelson Mandela Inaugurated President of South Africa”
Consider the information presented in each text.
Write an informative essay in which you explain how each of these people exhibit leadership qualities. Remember to cite textual evidence from each text in your response.

20. How was the prompt answered?
Students would write about:
Suleimon only, or Mandela only.
Students would talk about what is needed in a leader outside the pieces– and used the pieces as afterthoughts.
Frequently mentioned their accomplishments but not their leadership qualities.

29. Tuesday 11/8
Journal: What planning method did you choose yesterday? Explain why you feel that this method would work best for you? If you were not here yesterday—decide on an essay planning method and show me an example.

30. Agenda:
Journal
ACE Method
ACE Worksheet

31. ACE Method: Writing a GREAT Short Answer Response!
And individual essay paragraphs.

32. Remember Answer Cite Elaborate/Explain
Your space for answering is limited, so clear, concise answers with appropriate textual evidence will receive the best scores.
Use:
Answer
Cite
Elaborate/Explain

33. Begin by: Restating and Answering the question asked in the prompt.
Then Cite textual evidence (return to the reading and find at lease one quote direct or indirect), which supports your answer.
Finally, Explain and Elaborate on your answer and the textual evidence you have provided.

34. Remember
A good response will carefully analyze the text, offer textual evidence from the piece or pieces that will directly support your answer and will explain how this evidence supports your answer.

35. Direct Quote- A direct quote is a quote in which you copy an author's words directly - word for word. Direct quotes will be surrounded by quotation marks.
For Example: "I couldn't laugh; I couldn't applaud; it filled me with bitterness to have others do it and to have people make a hero of Hicks and the people around him" (659). 

36. Indirect Quote - An indirect quote is a quote in which you paraphrase - put into your own words - what the author is saying.
For Example: Twain was unable to laugh or applaud, because he was so angry that Hicks could be mesmerized and he could not (659).
