Today’s Assignment

Introduce a topic clearly; organize ideas, concepts and information into broader categories; include formatting, graphics and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension. C.8.2.b
I can create a thesis which introduces the topic clearly with a stated position.

A thesis is just a sentence–a carefully constructed sentence that sits at the end of the first paragraph of your essay. And this song defines a “thesis,” as well as offering strategies for writing a strong one. A thesis has to argue something, and writers can make that argument strong by keeping the sentence focused and specific.
