Class members look again at the end-of-unit essay prompt for A Mighty Long Way. After reviewing the requirements of the essay, they use their Gathering Evidence note-catchers and color-code the evidence that matches the two questions in the essay. To finish, learners discuss the most vital evidence and record them on the Characteristics of Strong Evidence anchor chart to help guide them in writing their essays.
