Comparative Essay
"The Three Branches of Government"

Congratulate your child on a job well done! Over the last several weeks, students have been hard at work creating a comparative essay and graphic organizer. Students performed research. Once the information was gathered, the report was typed using Microsoft Word. Students then used word processing skills to modify their text and copy/pasted a picture onto their document. Using the same information, students used various drawing tools in Microsoft Word to create their graphic organizers, including a WordArt title.
