Today we did an interactive lesson/discussion on thesis statements, including common errors when writing thesis statements in the context of a research paper. We talked about and worked through examples/edits for theses that are: too broad, too specific, too detailed, and that are fragmented. Ayden did a great job participating and coming up with new ways to write the incorrect thesis examples. Next, Ayden was given thesis statements and had to indicate the topic, opinion/main idea, and supporting details for each. This was more challenging for him on the first 3 attempts, but he was able to independently identify the final 3.
