You should be prepared to respond in a well written, tightly argued essay of 3-5 paragraphs. You will be graded on including a brief but clear outline, a concise and debatable thesis, the use of evidence, argumentation that builds from the evidence back to the thesis, style (length, grammar, and structure) (3 points), and a conclusion that relates the thesis to larger themes of the course.

Q 1. Was Vergil pro- or anti-Augustus? Using at least 5 pieces of evidence and at least 2 different primary sources, make an argument as to whether you believe that Vergil was pro- or anti-Augustus.

Be specific in your citation of evidence, and connect each piece of evidence clearly to your overall argument.
