"You've got some 'splainin to do"

Objective:
Students will learn how to effectively explain why they believe something in writing.

Activities:
1. Get your paper back.
2. Now that you have your issue, the background information necessary to make your point, and your thesis statement, it is time to connect the dots (Elizabethan England to Rialto 2014).
3. With apologies to "I Love Lucy" fans everywhere, you have to 'splain yourself.' Why should I believe what you say about the similarities and differences with regard to a social issue and two periods of time separated by over 400 years?

Note:
It seems harder than it is. I will talk to each group about how to organize an approach to this essay, so you can start attacking it.
