Thesis workshop with peers--make sure your thesis statement has a reference to the connection between the two poems (author or title), the devices that the authors use (for this essay, a mention of metaphor or symbol without naming the specifics is okay), and the theme that the authors explore in their poems.

Introductions--use this handout to look over the parts of an introduction. I've included a weak example and a much stronger example.

HW: Each group should have **an introduction** and **all of their topic sentences** completed by Tuesday/Wednesday at the start of class. You may each write an intro using the same thesis, or you can work together over google docs, but either way, full intros need to come to class.

The TISAIS outline is linked to the main pages to the right. You can download an outline from that link.
