Thesis Statements (the quick and easy way)

Posted on 10.10.07 by Hey, Mister!

As promised, here is the powerpoint I used in teaching my students how to build thesis statements.

Most of the information is lifted directly from a variety of websites, but the example paragraphs are compiled from the opening paragraphs my students wrote when comparing and contrasting the short story “The Ransom of Red Chief,” with its film counterpart.
