HONORS
1. Term paper
-go over how your thesis statement should look--you should all follow some type of form like Due to the fact that____, ____, and ____, it follows that ________ (in this last blank should be your CLAIM!)
-discuss format body paragraphs for this paper, and how you should really focus on TRANSITIONING into your warrant.....for example, (DATA) Buster, the brother on Arrested Development, goes on a bike ride with his brother Michael, when George-Michael is too busy to go. (TRANSITION) One can assume from this fact (WARRANT) that Buster is, indeed, a mature and thoughtful individual, since he had the emotional intelligence enough to 'reach out' to Michael, when Michael was obviously in pain from being ditched by his own son....
-we spent the rest of the time in the library, with me conferencing with you on thesis statements (which were due today), sources, etc.
-by the end of next class on Friday, your OPENING PARAGRAPHS are going to be due...you will have time to work on these in class.

**Be working on this term paper each night.....it is going to be due NEXT WEEK!**
