Sundiata Experience to Preparation Essay

You will compose an essay that discusses the following issues:
What are the significant experiences of Sundiata's youth? How did these affect him? How did they prepare him for his journey to be King or his Kingship?

You should do the following steps:
Prewrite,
Draft,
Revise,
Draft,
Revise,
Draft,
REPEAT AS NEEDED!

To assist you with the Revision Process please perform the following:


  1. Identify the main idea in each body paragraph


    • ONE MAIN IDEA FOR ONE PARAGRAPH, ANY MORE AND IT IS WRONG!


  2. Make sure that every main idea has at least two-three supporting details that reinforce it.

    • Always support your statements/accusation/conjectures

  3. Ensure that you have thoroughly covered all the significant information from the prompt.

    • Double check the main ideas and supporting details and make sure that they answered the questions from the prompt.

  4. Do not use doubtful, insecure, or unsure language like, most likely, maybe, probably

    • You should have studied and be prepared to write/speak competently on your topic, so sound like it by using words that reinforce your expertise and not undermine it.

  5. Make sure that every sentence makes a point and/or serves a purpose, otherwise you are just wasting words, and that is sad. :-(

    • Ex. B.P.1-1: Topic Sentence

    • B.P.1-2:Commentary/Introduction/Interest Generator/Thought Provoker
