Thesis Statements and Embedding Quotes

Go to the Schreiber website

1. Click on the PDF Per. 3 Rough Drafts. Read the introductions of 10 Rough Drafts. Copy and paste the three best thesis statements onto your blog. Explain why you think they are the best thesis statements? Are they unique? Is their phrasing precise? Do they give you ideas on how you could improve your own thesis statement?

2. Click on the PDF about Embedding Quotes. Read the information. If you wrote a rough draft, revise three of your quotes so that they are embedded. Introduce the quotes and only use the words that are absolutely necessary for expressing your point. Write the revised quotes in the blog. If you did not write a rough draft, choose a rough draft from the Per. 3 Rough Drafts. Revise three quotes to make them embedded. Post them in your blog.
