Social
Studies Do’s and Don’ts:
Tips for
a Strong Social Studies Essay
DO…
·
make
sure that all you write is in your own
words - significantly different than the words of your sources.
·
make
sure all your writing is in the past
tense.
·
make
sure writing is in the 3rd person.
·
write
in complete sentences - no fragments
or run-ons.
·
use
transition words (see last pg in
packet) to make your arguments extra clear to the reader.
·
make
sure you have spelled words correctly-
use spell check and the dictionary! (their-there, are-our, hear-here)
·
check your grammar and sentence structure carefully!
·
use
dates if you have them to make the
time period more clear to the reader.
DON’T…
·
use
the 1st /2nd person! That means no
“I”, “Me”, “We”, “Us”, or “You”!
·
use
informal or vague words such as
“good”, “a lot”, “thing” or “stuff”. A formal essay should sound different than
the way we talk.
·
assume that the reader has a lot of prior knowledge of the event/issue.
Explain the background and prove your point.
·
Ever
have a quotation stand alone. You
must introduce and analyze your quote.
