Day 28: Let's talk about the question

The prompt 😈

What is the prompt asking you to do? Put into your own words.

Literary terms we've discussed ... let's review the terms sheet 😊

Lit terms brainstorm from C block
Lit terms brainstorm from F block

Let's start writing thesis statements. But remember:
  • A strong thesis is arguable.  Someone has to be able to disagree with you.
  • A thesis is a complete sentence (for a paper that is fewer than 10 pages, you really should not need more than one sentence to make a clear argument).
  • A thesis takes a stand or draws a conclusion, rather than summarizing or simply announcing a subject.
  • A thesis is as specific as possible, rather than vague or general.
  • A thesis expresses one main idea, & does not make too many points all at once.
  • A thesis expresses a new insight. It presents a unique idea.




HW: Refine thesis statement 💕💗
