Homework

• Fix the following paragraph.  Add your dress-ups (strong verb and quality adjective) and openers (subject and prepositional).  You may also change the sequence and make other improvements.

Louis XIV built Versailles. He liked the arts and liked to dance. Anne of Austria ruled for 8 years when he was too young. He died in 1715. He canceled the Edict of Nantes and made being a Huguenot not legal. Versailles took 47 years to finish. He fought lots of wars. When his mom ruled there was a revolt, and he had to leave the city, and it collapsed, and he wouldn’t let it happen again, and he reorganized taxes and laws. He was the most powerful ruler in Europe. When he was older he became more strict. He was called the Sun King.

• Use your outline for Ancient Rome to compose three paragraphs.  Remember your dress-ups and openers!
