Today in class we wrote an essay on a successful person and how they gained their success. We were asked to explain whether the person's success is due to legacy and opportunity. What the essay consisted of included an effective thesis statement. An effective thesis statement includes a topic sentence with properly integrated evidence. What was also asked of us was to properly integrate evidence into the writing piece. We did this by forming an introduction to the evidence, following it with a citation and ending it with an analysis. We also were told to use cite evidence from websites using the author's name or the title of the article.
Good details from class. Nice job using previous days' notes to strengthen the work you did yesterday. Make sure you specify the meanings of terms like topic sentences and thesis statements. Don't forget an image or other form of media to take your post to the next level!
