HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I THINK YOU MAY HAVE NOT REALIZED YET…• This is going to take some creativity.• You are not going to be able to find the main ideas for your article word-for-
word in the text. You have to look a little deeper• For example: • Sports– You will not know specific gladiator’s names (you have to make them
up)• War/Military– You may not know the exact battle plans (you have to make
logical predictions)• Local – Your event will not be significant enough to find it in your text book,
but you can guess at something that would have been of interest to your reader
• Science – Pretend you are a scientist…what would you be teaching your reader?
• Human Rights – Come up with a SPECIFIC EVENT to be arguing for• Opinion – Your argument must be based on facts, but you have to be arguing
for something that affects your people

wish they would just leave me alone! (Local Article) Plebeians: The Patricians don’t want to share in the Senate with us!
