Friday, 9/27: Thesis Statements

We spent a lot of time working on thesis statements today.

Here is the PowerPoint for reference.

Write your new and improved thesis statement.

Then complete the reflection. Here are the questions from the board...
Please write a reflection of this writing process. Some questions to consider while writing include:

• How did this process work for you? Where were you confused? Where were you successful?
• How much did your thesis statement change from the original draft to the final draft? What did you learn about what you need to add/delete?
• Based on your thesis statement, how much do you imagine the rest of your outline would change? Why? (Please note: you are not actually writing a response to this prompt. We are just practicing thesis statements.)

This work is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday.
