READ: Fahrenheit 451- Read up to the middle of page
23, the last panel with Montag and Mildred.
THINK: About the thesis statements you wrote (my
handout from early last week). Are they REALLY statements about a certain
theme?
DEFINITION: a thesis statement is a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of
an essay and is developed, supported, and explained in the text by means of examples and evidence.
WRONG EXAMPLE: Don’t write, “Eating fast
food is bad and should be avoided.”
GOOD EXAMPLE: Do write, “Americans should
eliminate the regular consumption of fast food because the fast food diet leads
to preventable and expensive health issues, such as diabetes, obesity, and
heart disease.”
Questions? Ask away here, on my TBG or google
plus school email. ALWAYS double clarify, rather than assume something or be
lazy to ask!

ReplyDeleteYes, one thesis statement per topic, as far as I can remember you got three to four in the handout.
