going to be reading. • All of your main points must fall under it!• It is your topic + your point about it.

JigSaw: group work• Each group assigned a section• Read the section• Explain your section to the class

class, as group explains, read along, highlight, or take notes. – We will be playing a game w/ this info

Good thesis- States opinion (pg 33)- Asserts 1 idea (pg 33-34)- Has something to say (pg 34-35)- Is limited to fit (pg 35-36)- Clearly/specifically stated (36)- 1st or 2nd paragraph (36-37)

Avoid Common Errors- Don’t just announce topic- Don’t clutter with “I think”- Don’t just state a fact- Don’t ask it as a question

Game! Pin the Thesis• Groups each will get a set of

thesis statements. Record the #’s you have!

• Decide which are “adequate” and which are “inadequate”– Use tape to put statements onto the

corresponding location. – Be prepared to justify your

choice to the class. • On 1 page per group, rewrite the

inadequate thesis statements.
