Today’s Assignment

Find the assignment on Flocabulary called, “Writing a Thesis.” Watch the video, complete the vocabulary cards, the vocabulary game, the read and respond, and the quiz.
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.

Paper copies are available to those who need them. See Knox County Web page for further information.
