–Narrative is the “The Fight” section

–Analysis: all the above, plus textbook and slides to remind you what the analytical items mean.

–Note: the background and narrative must include items that you use to support your analysis. DO NOT USE QUOTES FROM THE PASSAGE. DO NOT INCLUDE AFTERMATH ON BATTLE ANALISYS.
