Inquiry #4

Thesis

•You will be graded very heavily on your revised thesis – unless you got a checkmark saying perfect “as is,” make sure that you have revised it – a trip to see Ms. Rice or Mr. Scotese makes a lot of sense (even if you saw her or me before you may still have been asked to revise your thesis).

•Revise it BEFORE you do Inquiry #4 as a big part of your grade for this inquiry will be based on how closely your inquiry questions and answers are aligned to this thesis.
