Documents 2, 5, 6, and 8
center on southwest Asia and religions that stress the importance of a single
god.
The “fill-in” sentences
will contain specific references to each document that support its use.
TOPIC SENTENCE
1st paragraph
Our next
step is to develop an opening sentence for each of our paragraphs. The topic
sentence should give a general idea of what we will discuss relating to the
information requested by the prompt.
Here we
can open with the documents from a particular region (southwest Asia) that
stress a specific characteristic (a powerful, directing god). Additional
sentences for this paragraph can center on a piece of information (major
point) that supports your decision to include this document in this
paragraph.
You
should use this process for each of the groupings, making sure that you have
included all of the documents.
Note to
teacher: It is important at this point to allow students to complete the
process for each of the groupings either during class or as a homework
assignment.
