Thesis What is a thesis statement? A thesis statement is a sentence that summarizes the main point of your essay and previews your supporting points. Why write a thesis statement?

Thesis: Location Where does a thesis statement belong? at the end of the introduction!!!

Thesis: Points to Consider When creating your thesis you should consider: -What is the prompt asking you to do? -What is your main idea? -What are your subpoints? -Is my thesis specific and free of vague terms?

How about an example? Lets say my essay prompt is favorite snacks of children. Children between the ages of 5 and 10 favor pizza, cupcakes and candy. Lets try that again- If my essay prompt was describe the sports offered at the local high school.

Works Cited Page What is a Works Cited Page? This is a single page that is dedicated to ONLY bibliographic entries Must be in MLA Format It is titled Works Cited (ABSOLUTELY: no bold letters, no quotation marks, and its not underlined-just like your essay title **HINT) The entries are listed on the page in alphabetical order Your punctuation MUST be correct.

Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources Not every Web page will provide all of the following information. However, collect as much of the following information as possible both for your citations and for your research notes: Author and/or editor names (if provided) Article name in quotation marks (if provided) Title of the Website, project, or book in italics. (Remember that some Print publications have Web publications with slightly different names. They may, for example, include the additional information or otherwise modified information, like domain names [e.g..com or.net].) Any version numbers available, including revisions, posting dates, volumes, or issue numbers. Publisher information, including the publisher name and publishing date. Take note of any page numbers (if available). Medium of publication. Date you accessed the material. URL (if required, or for your own personal reference; MLA does not require a URL).

Citation Guide of Electronic Source The following is a standard guide for creating a citation (bibliographic entry for an electronic source.) ****HINT: WRITE THIS DOWN!!! Editor, author(last name, first name), or compiler name (if available). “Title of Article.” Name of Site. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of Copy Right (if available). Medium of publication (Web or Print). Date of access. -pay attention to the punctuation, font type, and indention because they are vital.

Here are some examples: Example with Author: Lundman, Susan. "How to Make Vegetarian Chili." eHow. Demand Media, n.d. Web. 6 July No author or editor: "Athelete's Foot - Topic Overview." WebMD. WebMD, 25 September Web. 6 July 2015.
