Day 20
First of all, it is "Unofficial" today. What does that mean?! Video
1) IEF Feedback and Midterm Grade Sheets
2) Continue work on solutions
We will choose one solution that we as a group feel is best to focus on in our GRP.
3) Research Paper Thesis Statements
Step 1: What might be the difference between the thesis statements you have written already in this class and a thesis statement for a research paper?
Step 2: I will give you five minutes to write a thesis statement that could be used for our GRP. Keep in mind the three solutions that we decided on in the last class.
Step 3: Compare thesis statements in randomized groups of 3-4 (via Random Group Creator). How does what you wrote compare to your partners' work? Do you notice any patterns in your group's thesis statements? In other words, what is similar and what is different?
What information did you include?
Step 4: Thesis Building Part 1 (on paper)
Step 5: Thesis Building Part 2: With your group, write a thesis statement based on Part 1 in 1-2 sentences. Refine it! Make it beautiful!
Step 6: Add your finished thesis statement to google drive here. We will then decide on a final thesis statement for our GRP!
provide food in emergencies: most serious, many sources
ReplyDeletesupport small formers: the only long-term solutions, fundamental to solving the problem, creates independence rather than government reliance
give children vital nutrition: more complex solution, more to critique
should the thesis statement include the detailed information you provided in your comment?
DeleteHi Lee. No, you do not need to include that information. I wrote that as a guideline for when we choose a solution to focus on.
DeleteI was just curious, thanks for the reply.
