HW due Tuesday:
1. Hero's Journey + Change Maker book in class. First book should be finished by tomorrow unless we have had a conversation.
2.
Thesis Statement Practice ... Of the 8 sentences written, complete the following:
- Find and circle the two perfect thesis statements (Give one reason why it works and write out what the main point and body paragraphs will be about)
- Put an X next to thesis statements that are not effective (For these thesis statements write 1 thing that does not work about it)
2/24 - 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
