1. Thesis Statements Practice - Write 3 thesis statements on the subject of your choice about essays you could in theory write. Consider our notes below:
Thesis Statements Notes
- The thesis statement is like the MAP to your essay… when a person reads the thesis statement, they should know what the rest of the essay is going to be about
- It introduces and summarizes the entire argument
- Within the thesis statement we should see an introduction to what each body paragraph will be about
- IT SHOULD BE ARGUABLE
- Last sentence of the first introductory paragraph
- Avoid use of I/we/us/our
Topic Sentences NOTES:
- Like a thesis statement, but just for one body paragraph
- First sentence of the body paragraph
- It should be arguable
- Avoid use of I/we/us/me/our
- States the main point of the paragraph and…how it connects to the entire essay
