7th Grade--9/18

Today we began class by discussing how you write a strong thesis statement and we did a mini lesson on thesis construction. You can find that handout here. Next, we looked at the writing prompts for our essay on The Outsiders. We read through these together and then students worked on constructing thesis statements in reaction to the prompt or prompts of their choice. We ended class by each sharing a thesis statement.
