Coherent Paragraph 3B/4A

The 15 point coherent paragraph quiz is designed to test student knowledge about core content while practicing writing. The goal is to encourage students to create a coherent "narrative" by weaving terms, people, concepts into a chronologically coherent paragraph . In order to weave the terms, people, concepts into a quality paragraph it is essential to provide the "context". A laundry list that includes the quiz terms and uses weak or underdeveloped transitions will not work. The content necessary for a passing grade can be drawn from Crash Course History HW.
