Thesis Statements for Us to consider

Hello--

Post your thesis statements in this thread and see my comments about them. Read the thesis statements one of your peers have posted and comment on their quality based on the criteria we have discussed:

a) Is it clear what the author is going to write about?

b) What is the pattern of development (narration, description, process, cause-and-effect, classification, comparison or definition)

c)Is it clear how the essay will be organized? (e.g. from general to specific; from specific to general; spatially; thematically)

If you have some more questions about writing thesis statements, post them here too.
