For Thursday (10/15)

Draft the thesis paragraph for your commentary. This doesn't necessarily have to be the first paragraph, but it should be the paragraph which contains the thesis. Remember the following criteria for your thesis statement:

• Satisfactory thesis statements offer an observation of a trend or situation.
• Strong thesis statements offer some insight into what the trend or situation signifies.
• Outstanding thesis statements offer a qualified and thought-out insight into what a trend or situation signifies.

This thesis paragraph is due Thursday at the beginning of class. Make sure that you read my blog post on citing sources as well for Thursday's class.
