Tuesday was distinct from other classes as Annalise taught a class on how to write an effective thesis. While I am becoming more adept in writing papers, the thesis is always the part I struggle with. Creating the hook is specifically what I struggle to formulate. For a hook, does it need to be particularly captivating? The lesson Annalise gave was really beneficial with tips on how to construct a thesis statement. One of the points that I noted from her presentation was to think of your thesis as a “working thesis”– seeing it as both a work in progress, but also a tool to utilize throughout the writing process. Why was the idea of forming a thesis statement so particular in highschool? I was told, primarily in eighth grade, that the thesis itself has to be one to two sentences and that it had to go at the end of your first paragraph. But now, writing regurally throughout high school to now, I have learned that writing a thesis is done the way you want it. This perspective was supported from Annalieses presentation too.
