I want to assign an essay on the Articles of Confederation as an optional "drop your lowest grade"...but I'm a first year teacher and have never given an assignment like this. I can design the rubric, but need help devloping a writing prompt. 8th grade U.S. history, mixture of advanced and regular grade-level students.
Kev It depends what type of essay you are looking for. Is it purely expository or do you want some persuasion or evaulation? I'd suggest checking with your Language Arts teachers to see what essay styles your students have learned this year and go with one of those.
