Write a paper on the famous historical event or figure

Write a paper on the famous historical event or figureResearch a famous historical event or figure that interests you and that you do not know much about. Then write an informational essay in which you describe your topic and provide details. Explain why you think your topic is an important part of history and why it is important to remember, using evidence from three to five credible, relevant sources. Use MLA style to properly cite your sources, both in the text and on a Works Cited page.
Your first paragraph should contain a Hook or sentence to catch the interest of your reader. It should also have enough background information to create a general overview and to frame your topic for readers. The importance of your main idea to readers and how the topic relates to their lives. It should also have a thesis statement that states your main ideas and previews the topics of the body paragraphs in the order they will appear.

The next 3 paragraphs should give the reader the information you have gathered to support your first paragraph or subject you have researched.
You MUST CITE 3 – 5 Credible Resources. Meaning where did you get your information from. Websites, books, ……
You also must use MLA formatting for your citing of sources.
Website EX: Format: Website Name. Day Month Year, URL.
An MLA website citation includes the author’s name, the title of the page (in quotation marks), the name of the website (in italics), the publication date, and the URL (without “https://”).

Body Paragraphs: Lesson 8.2

Body paragraphs express your main ideas, one paragraph at a time. This is the part of your essay that will teach your readers the most about your topic, so it’s important to make it count!

Topic sentences appear at the start of each body paragraph. A topic sentence tells readers what the paragraph will be about. It forecasts the ideas to come. The rest of the sentences in the paragraph will all support and connect to that topic sentence.

At the end of the body paragraph, a concluding sentence directly sums up or reflects on the main idea and topic sentence of that paragraph.

Facts and Data as Evidence
Each body paragraph should contain evidence that supports its main point. All evidence should be relevant—meaning that it should connect to the paragraph’s topic sentence. If a piece of evidence does not connect, move it or delete it!

Evidence can include:
definitions
concrete details
quotations
facts
statistics
After you provide each piece of evidence, use your own words to analyze or interpret how the evidence connects to your topic. Make sure to properly cite every piece of evidence that comes from an outside source.
Transitional Words and Phrases
Transitional words and phrases help connect your ideas throughout an essay. They clearly show readers how your ideas are organized and how they are related. These useful words and phrases also help with the flow of your writing, making it clear you are not simply going from one idea to the next.

Transitions can signal cause and effect, sequence, continuation, or contrast. You can use transitions such as these in an informational essay:
first
then
later
eventually
for example
according to
additionally
also
therefore
This is an overview of what you should write in your 3 Body Paragraphs for your Informational Essay. In each paragraph, be sure to include
a topic sentence that states the main idea of the paragraph
several pieces of evidence (facts or data) that relate to the topic sentence
a concluding sentence that wraps up your paragraph
transitional words and phrases
Writing Your Conclusion Lesson 9.2
The Conclusion reminds readers of the most important points in your essay and restates why they matter.
An effective conclusion does the following:
summarizes the main ideas of the essay
restates the thesis statement
states the topic’s importance
links back to the introduction
What Not to Include
An effective conclusion should not
introduce any new ideas
introduce any new evidence
The end of your essay is not the time to bring up new information! It is the time for summarizing and illustrating any last connections for your readers.
