Session+14+SWAG!

=__Thesis Statements__= a. What is my topic? b. What argument am I prepared to make? c. How can I state my argument as clearly and powerfully as possible? d. Is my statement a direct answer to the question or response to the prompt or claim about the topic?
 * 1) === A thesis statement is an argument. It is a 1-2 sentence statement of the purpose of your essay: what will you be proving to the reader in the essay? ===
 * 2) It should be toward the end of an introductory paragraph and include enough specifics that the reader has a general idea of the key points you will make to support your biggest claim.
 * 3) Your thesis statement should likely be a compound sentence, including a preview of the major points you will make to support your big claim. So, instead of writing a simple thesis statement like "The end of World War II brought about major consequences" you should probably write something like "When World War II ended in 1945, the major consequences included the division of Germany, the start of the United Nations, and the beginning of the Cold War."
 * 4) To write your thesis, ask yourself 4 questions:

__**ANSWERS!<~ **__ **A topic is a subject of a sentance, ex. I saw an** __apple__ **on a mans head.**

===**The argument is to tell why something or someone is the best. You have to give reasons and** __proof__ **to back up your answer<~** ===

===**The statement is a direct answer because it is saying "I saw an apple on a mans head" the person is saying they saw a apple on someones head, there fore it is a direct answer.** === = = = =

The best fast food is really all of them it jsut depends on what you want. I dont think McDonalds is the best place to go for chicken wings? And i doubt Burger King is the best place to go for sea food? I say mcdonalds has the best chicken nuggets and french fries :) Also i think that Burger King is good when it comes to the size of there burgers and there drinks :D A movie should only have a sequal if the movie ends with question? So if a movie ends when a man is hanging off the side of a cliff and his buddy is running to go grab him and then the movie ends. Apples and oranges are not that much alike? uhmm i dont see the similarities besides the fact that they both are in trees they both can be eatin and they produce a drink also they are good to eat. Other then that they are not very much alike. They are diffrent because they are grown in diffrent places oranges have a coating that you have to peel in order to eat and apples come in diffrent flavors.

Immigrants in the counrty should be allowed but have to attend a English speaking class inorder to be an American citizen.

= I think that America should not attack another country that hasnt attacked us, but! i think that our country helps other countries too much. Our economy and our country have issues that we need to attend to. Hurrican Katrina isnt taken care of and that happend almost 10 years ago. We dont need to help Haiti or anyother countries because we have out own issuies. = = = = Casey Anthony<~ = = ﻿ = = = After watching the __** Casey Anthony **__ trial i think that she did kill her daughter. I think that she did it on accedent but then decided to hide the body because she didnt want to go to jail. Since Casey did not report her daughter missing after 30days showed that she killed her child. I also think that the mom helped Casey in the case by saying she was the one who searched cloraphorm. Also i think that the ducktape on her daughters mouth was proof that she had to have killed her because why would there be ductape on a 3 year olds body?
