Paragraph Question on upcoming TEST (so you can prepare ideas in advance)

Which PERSON or EVENT do you consider to be the most "historically" significant during the time period that we have just covered in Socials 8?  Provide TWO reasons for you choice.  (6 marks).  (Paragraph should be approximately 4-6 sentences.)

How your paragraph will be assessed:
