* = connection If you see a *, Mrs. Newman is either acknowledging that you made a connection OR that you could have made a connection in a particular part of your essay.

• Payed is incorrect. In France leading up to the French Revolution, the Third Estate paid the majority of the taxes.

• Lead vs Led. King Louis 16 led France into a period of economic decline.

• Document based evidence, including paraphrasing and quotes, should NEVER begin a paragraph in a social studies essay. Instead, your body paragraph should be structured as follows: • Topic Sentence- introduces the focus on this paragraph • Historical context pertaining to this paragraph • Document based Evidence (paraphrasing and/or quotes) • Your ANALYSIS of the evidence and HOW IT RELATES TO YOUR THESIS STATEMENT.

INTRO (insert Enduring Issue) was a major part of French history leading up to and during the French Revolution of 1789. Inequality exists when one group or one person has more authority over another. Prerevolutionary France had various types of inequality including social inequality, land inequality, tax inequality, and gender inequality. In France, leading up to the French Revolution, many people experienced social and property inequality. The French people were organized into a rigid social pyramid called the Old Regime. Social mobility was not possible under this system.

How to write an introductory paragraph Things that you MUST HAVE in your introduction: • Enduring Issue WITH A DEFINITION • Thesis Statement: What you are trying to prove in your essay. Essentially, your thesis is 3 examples of your Enduring Issue (found in 3 documents). Let’s look at some documents that you chose to use for Exam 1.

Body #1—Enduring Issue of Inequality Social and land inequalities existed in France before and during the French Revolution of 1789. Social inequality stemmed from the Old/Ancient Regime, which existed in France for hundreds of years. This hierarchy divided French people into three social classes. There was absolutely no social mobility between each Estate, which was very frustrating to members of the Third Estate. According to Jackson J. Spielvogel’s circle graph, the French Third Estate made up 97% of the population, yet only owned 55% of the land (doc 1). The Third Estate didn’t have enough land to grow crops/food. This resulted in massive poverty and famine. (continue your analysis and make any possible *connections!)
