ASSIGNMENT: THESIS STATEMENT PRACTICE

JOURNAL ACTIVITY

Assignment Overview

Thesis Statement Practice:

First, review these guides to thesis statements in literary analysis essays:

· From UTA:  Libguide on thesis statementsLinks to an external site.

· LibreText:  Thesis statement guideLinks to an external site.

Then, think about the stories we read in Module 2 ("A&P", "Boys and Girls", and "The Lesson"), and choose one story to focus on.

Now, consider these questions:

· How does the story define or depict what it means to grow up?

· According to the story, what character trait or life lesson is essential to have in order to  be an adult?

Write a thesis statement over the chosen story. Be sure it:

· Is one or two sentences long

· Meets the criteria for a thesis statement

· Includes the name of the story's author and title

You should avoid:

· Copy / pasting from other submissions

· Writing a summary of the story

· Conversational language (you, I, etc.)

Guidelines

Use academic writing conventions, and proofread before submitting. For journal entries, always copy and paste text into the journal entry (do not attach files; do not write in the comments box). Don't consult any outside sources. If you'd like to quote an article, be sure to include an MLA-style citation. All quotes should be in quotation marks (see MLA Help in Resources area for advice on this).
