Thesis-Proof
Thesis: A statement that is proven by argument.
Example of a thesis statement:
The theme of “Thank You, M’am” is hope.
The rest of the paragraph proves the statement by using details from the story.
Example:
The theme is hope because in the story Mrs. Jones takes him home, feeds him and tells him she also did things she was ashamed of. Doing this showed she had hope for the boy.
Students then listened to a passage, "How I Came to the Museum." They took notes as usual, and were given two constructed response questions.
HW:
-Study spelling and definitions
-Finish constructed response questions.
