English 9HP

We reviewed the thesis-opinion continuum, and we used this framework to evaluate several thesis statements on two different persuasive topics. Then I introduced a 3-part introduction to use with persuasive essay. You wrote a 3-part introduction for your topic, including a hook, a word that signals change, and an affirming transition followed by a high-interest thesis statement.

Homework:
Finish writing your 3-part introduction (due tomorrow).
Read your independent book (due April 20).
