Homework or in-class Exercise: Thesis Statements

Thesis statements and MLA style exercises

Go to http://www.dianahacker.com/student.html

Under A Pocket Style Manual, go to Research Exercises 28-1 and 28-2.  These are exercises in recognizing effective thesis statements, and they will help you in your thinking about your own thesis.

NOTE: You may have to sign up for a student account.  My email is lohre.1@osu.edu if you need it.

Complete these exercises either alone or with a partner.  It isn't that important that you get them all right.  What is important is that you understand if you are incorrect.
