Step 1: look at video notes and book notes on Jackson. Write down at least 15 pieces of information about him(the person), important events of his presidency, leadership style, etc.

Step 2: Group similar evidence together into categories. You should have at least 2-3 categories. Provide at title for each category. (some examples: Personality, Accomplishments, Controversies)

Step 3: Follow outline

1st Paragraph: Answer the question (do not write in 1st person!!) Provide 2-3 reasons (hint: look at titles of your categories!!)

2nd Paragraph: (1st Reason)

  •    Turn category title into topic sentence ( example: Jackson's tendency to make politics personal qualifies/disqualifies him from being on the twenty-dollar bill)
  • Provide evidence --> define & describe 
  • Explain how/why evidence helps prove your point ("This shows......")
  • repeat as necessary (@ least 3 pieces of evidence)
