Post your thesis statements in the comments section of this post.


For your THESIS PRESENTATION you will:

- Read your thesis statement in front of the class
- Answer the following questions:

  • What is the research problem?
  • What is your claim? Is it disputable?
  • How is your thesis like a roadmap?
  • What kinds of sources will you be looking for? What kinds of sources do you already have? 
  • What challenges to you face going forward for the research paper?

You will answer any questions at the end of the presentations.
