Objectives: Today I will finish writing my introduction.

Homework: 
  • Completed introduction (including thesis!) due tomorrow

Agenda:
  • Thesis Writing
    • A thesis is your claim + reasons.
    • It is used to share what your essay will be about.
    • Claim = your statement about your topic (ex. Climate change negatively affects sea turtles)
    • Reasons = main ideas to support your claim (what each body paragraph will be about) 
      • It endangers sea turtles’ habitats
      • It destroys their migration currents
      • It throws off the gender ratio of their eggs
    • Combine to Create a Thesis: 
      Climate change negatively affects sea turtles by endangering their habitats, destroying their migration currents, and throwing off the gender ratio of their eggs.​
    • Note: Your thesis does not include any evidence or citations! 
      It is only to organize your essay and share what you will be writing about.​
  • Thesis Practice
    • Spend 5 minutes brainstorming a possible thesis for your essay.​
      • What is your claim about your topic? 
      • Is your topic important for a specific reason?
      • What is the most important thing you want your reader to know?
      • What have been the main ideas showing up in your research?
