Thesis Statement Minilesson | Homelearning
Definition/Purpose: topic + argument = thesis. The author presents the audience with the framework of the argument. The audience has a clear understanding of what the text will be about, encouraging them to read further. Outline and Format: Be extremely specific when filling out your answers to the following questions. This worksheet will become the road map for both your thesis statement and your Bridge paper. The more specific you are now the easier it will be to write your essay. Finally, remember that a solid Bridge paper is written in academic language, meaning it should maintain third person point-of-view. Avoid pronouns like I, me, we, ours, us, etc. What What is your topic? Why What is important about your topic? What do you want your audience to understand about your topic? What is the outcome? How Based on your answers from why, how do ensure this happens? What evidence are you going to use to prove your argument true? Who On occasion it may be necessary to indicate a specific group of people. This group would indicate the who. For example, the information provided above might be relevant only to students or young adults, which you would indicate here. Thesis Statement Combine the above answers into one sentence.

The other pods will then be allowed time to connect, extend, challenge those Feed/Conformity ideas.
