Writing an Informative Essay About Leadership

Question 2 • PA-Social Studies 8 Q1

Read the thesis statement from a student’s informative essay on George Washington.General George Washington gained valuable military experience before the American Revolution.Which kind of information could be included in this essay as supporting evidence?

Answer
A
a description of a battle he fought as a young man
B
a description of his plantation in Mount Vernon, Virginia
C
an example of a policy he achieved as the US president
D
a detail about his time serving on the Continental Congress

Explanation

The thesis focuses on Washington’s military experience before the American Revolution, so supporting evidence should describe his military activities during that period. A battle he fought as a young man directly supports the thesis. His plantation, presidency, and service in the Continental Congress do not provide the same direct evidence of early military experience.
