2nd FAME Essay

For your second FAME essay, please write on one of the following:


  • What is power?  Who should have it?
  • How did cultures in the past handle conflict?  How should that influence how people handle conflict today?
  • What are the consequences of trade? (Remember consequences can be both positive and negative.)

This essay should follow the form in the 2nd FAME essay organizer.  Christa and I will also be available for help should you need it.  Wordle is optional for this essay.  Use it if you wish in your editing process.  Don't forget to cite the sources you use.  Or, you could just post your Works Cited page you created in EasyBib and link to it.  You may write on any aspect of your FAME culture, not just your GRAPES.  You may also draw on your knowledge of modern American culture.  Your essay must include at least one image.  More, of course, might be better.

This is an opportunity for you to share your thinking about your research.  Feel free to have fun with the writing.  Essay, graphics, links, and citations should be posted to your blog by whatever date your FAME leaders have told you.  At the latest, posts must be dated prior to 11:20 am on Wednesday, December 17.
