Good work so far this week! 

 

Most of you have chosen and narrowed a topic; now consider your thesis and write to it using valid sources through Angelina’s portal. 

 

The deficiencies are often due to a global / emotional choice of topics.  Remember that the purpose of this short paper is to help you develop your critical thinking skills and your control of the MLA format through stating a thesis and defending it with facts and reason.  We are not going to solve the world’s problems in the next two weeks, so choose a somewhat interesting topic, not a fascinating one, that you can research with authoritative resources.

 

Remember that your paper is to be devoid of all personality, so write in a detached, objective, third-person voice.

 

Work on your paper a little bit each day during the week, and more on weekends.
