2/10/2020

 
CLASS BIZ

  • Morning POD-- Listen to this Throughline podcast about Hong Kong protests for Jackson's seminar on Friday!

STARTER
Let's look at 2 example thesis statements.  Pick one of these and read the title page and all of the introduction. Try to identify what line(s) are the thesis statement. 
​


  1. Sarah VonTersch- What is the most effective way to reduce drug cartel power and minimize their negative effects?
  2. Caeley McClain- What are the most effective methods to get uninvolved people to take initial action on climate change in the United States?

Outline of Senior Thesis- Dissection Activity
Senior Thesis Outline Dissection- Complete this activity to get a look at the inner workings of some good outlines (not perfect...but good)

Review the guidelines on the "Elements" handout (found on the Senior Project page)

Review outline format and requirements as a class with Ashley
  1. This outline is what is due on THURSDAY, 2/20
  2. DO YOU HAVE a different style of outlining? Share it out and feel free to pitch Ashley on using a different template as long as your outline has similar information as the template I've provided requires!

Thesis Statement Drafting (draft due tomorrow for critique!)
  1.  Generating a Thesis: (two potential approaches)

Work Time Goals:
  1. Send SPAM 2 Email to your SPA
  2. Draft a working thesis statement that we can critique tomorrow
  3. Start PART 3 of your outline (I recommend starting with Part 3, rather than the introduction)

HOMEWORK:
  1. Draft a working thesis statement (it can be crappy!).  This should be a 1-2 sentence answer to your research question.
