Thesis/TLC workshop:

Today we developed thesis statements for a short paragraph about "Us and Them". Use the handout linked below to guide you through the thesis/paragraph formation. On the second sheet is an outline of the process we'll use all year for integrating quotes (TLC).

HW: Your job between today and next time I see you is to complete the following:

Paragraph #1: Thesis statement (no need to write more than this in the first paragraph) Paragraph #2: Topic sentence introducing the focus, one integrated quotes that supports topic sentence/thesis, at least 2 sentences of commentary "unpacking" or analyzing the quote. Do not just summarize what the quote says; show me how it proves your thesis.
