Presentation transcript:

Warm Up 1/19 Review your thesis from your outline. What does it need in order to be formal enough for an actual essay? Next, choose a paragraph that you’d like to develop. Why did you choose this one, and what ideas do you have in order to develop it fully?

Learning Targets I can further refine my thesis statement into a formal one, appropriate for a formal essay. I can begin to develop my outline of one body paragraph into a full, thorough body paragraph.

To refine your thesis, Ask if your draft thesis addresses the assignment. Question each part of your draft thesis Clarify vague phrases and assertions Investigate alternatives to your draft thesis Find ways to make your use of language more precise and concise. Ensure that you’ve mentioned both the name of the play AND its playwright. ‘bad’ Model thesis: A reader can use the theories of Myers and Briggs on the character Rosencrantz from Hamlet.

OUTLINE FORMAT Conclusion – Introduction (label which organization format you chose) – Write out a rough idea that you might want to use based on one of these strategies: make a connection to the readers appeal to them anticipate their needs orient them in the direction of the "journey” your main focus within your topic (thesis) Body Paragraphs (do this for each of the four/five) – Topic idea Context Quotation Commentary: Pull out discrete words, phrases, etc. which illustrate the conclusion you’ve drawn. Then, connect the dots for the reader and prove your assertion/conclusion valid. Conclusion – Write out a rough idea that you may use based on one of these strategies: mark the destination of the journey provide a reflection Close your idea, but make sure this paragraph is still "meaty"
