In-class writing: SPA!!

Welcome to the best day of your life. Today is the day you're going to make an argument, back it up with textual evidence, relate it all to the thesis and big picture, and blow me away with amazing insight. No pressure, but you got this.

Question:
Is Moses a good leader? Why or why not?

Format:
Double spaced. No need to paste in the rubric as I haven't figured out how to format it just yet.

A note about in-text citation: you are going use parenthetical notation after each piece of evidence. To do this, follow this format: (Exod. 1.15-17). Note that "Exod" is the abbreviation for the book from which you are citing, "1" is the chapter, and "15-17" are the verses. The chapter and verses are separated by a PERIOD not a colon.

Resources:
Use your pink packet of awesome. Refer to the SPA handout (you can also find that structure on the right side of the blog -->).

You can and should use Biblegateway.com to find textual evidence. You can use your Exodus handout. You can use your nightly notes. You can use the class blog. The only thing you cannot use is someone else's work, ideas, insights, etc.
