HW and tips for writing your claim!

Hey students! Reminders for your homework tonight:
 
- Write you revised thesis statement on pg. 5 of your writing packet. As you write, consider the following:
  •  use descriptive adjectives! See the post below for our list from class today. 
  • choose three different traits (ex: endurance, perseverance, and determination are too similar)
  • use parallel structure as discussed in class: Ex: fearlessness, leadership, advocacy not  fearlessness, leader, advocate. 
  • experiment with different sentence structures: 
    • Ex: Jo Ann Robinson is the most heroic person in Freedom Walkers due to her....
    • With his trait, trait, and trait, E.D. Nixon is undoubtedly the most heroic person in Freedom Walkers
    • I strongly believe that because of her trait, trait, and trait, Rosa Parks displayed the essence of a hero in Freedom Walkers. 
  • experiment with different ways to assert your claim --> see next post for a list!
Be prepared to share your claim in class tomorrow. Remember- this is the most important sentence of your whole paper... make it a good one! :)
