Today’s Menu

Brainstorming - on the subject/topic (NOT THESIS) - what can be said? what are the big ideas here? what are the elements that we can learn?

Find references from the book that fit the subject/topic

Start refining into your thesis - general to specific - the thesis is an argument that you need to prove - your ideas and references need to be combined to do that

Plan an essay skeleton

(bolded is done in groups - COLLABORATE)

A rough draft - which you show Mr. The Lobb! This is for marks! (CONFERENCE)

ONLY THEN will you start writing a final.

Get it checked by a nice peer. (could be group, or just one peer)

Submit the final KNOWING the entire process was part of your mark - IN FACT, it was the BIGGEST part of your mark.

Reminder of Theses:

Humankind will only succeed through perseverance.

Exodus shows us the cost of cruelty. Prove that this is true comparing the story with our own world. (cruelty means behaviour that is evil and doesn’t take another person’s feelings and health and life into consideration)

Selflessness can be difficult, but it is almost always worth it.

Desperation can be said to be the root of all evil.

Rebellion can sometimes be an important, and necessary response to a terrible situation.

Article is spelled “article” NOT artical!
