Today we did DOG step 2 and spent a good amount of time working on it and then explaining it. Then we did an activity focusing on writing a good (or even great) thesis statement. We had some discussion and analysis of this and then students were to get out their grapic organizer plans for their Dinner Party essay and examine the thesis statement they wrote last week. Using the new info, students are to improve their thesis statements and write it on the new, clean graphic org on the back of the thesis activity.
HW: Students are to improve their thesis statement and write it on the new, clean graphic org on the bacl of the thesis activity. Then look at what you have for your plan so far and sk yourself, “Does this plan (intro, support, conclusion) go with (support) you new and improved thesis?”
