I.  FEUDALISM EXPOSITORY ESSAY PRE WRITE
- review notes (quietly/on own)
- discuss in groups "what is Feudalism and how does it work?"

- on a separate sheet of paper, write list of words you'd use in essay
  use previously circled words

  skip lines or indicate paragraph breaks
  capitalize key terms that have to be defined or are the subject of a paragraph


II.  WRITE FEUDALISM EXPOSITORY ESSAY
- 1-2 pages in Social Studies Spiral
- skip lines between paragraphs
- leave plenty of margin space for revision/addition notes
- if finished early, read aloud in head to see how it flows
- make changes if necessary, while others finish
- lightly circle words that might be misspelled and need to be checked

III.  REVIEW ROUGH DRAFT/QW ESSAY
- again, make sure spelling considered and flow is checked
   (how does it sound IN your head)
- if it doesn't flow, what does it need to make sense

- review and ADD appositives, "descriptions" or added details
  to a word or term that might not be clear or needs enhancing
  * separate with commas

- look for generic VERBS that could be  changed into stronger, more vivid language
