Thesis:

exploring. Does it? Identify what it doesn’t mention.

Thesis Support:

Read the last sentence of every paragraph. Each should explain how the paragraph has supported

it the writer’s thesis. If it does, write this note to the writer: “Nice return to thesis!” If it does

not, write this note to the writer: “How does this prove your thesis?”(Note to writer: Heed these comments!)

Look at the specific details in each paragraph, and put a plus sign (+) next to the details that yousee which go along with the writer’s thesis. Put a minus sign (-) next to any which don’t, along

with this question: “thesis support?”
