Thesis Statement Review

Thesis Statement:

1. States what you are proving.

2. Is one sentence

3. Is the last sentence of the introduction usually

4. Does not use the words “I,” “me,” or “you.”

5. Will contains a transition word or phrase such as “due to” or “because.”

6. Will contain elements that will be used to support what you are proving.

Practice: for each set of choices, select the one choice you favour more. Write a

complete thesis statement for the topic, providing reasons that support your

choice. Thesis statement should be logos (logic as opposed to emotion or ethics).

1. Which is the better season in your town – summer or winter?

2. Which sport is more physically demanding – soccer or basketball?

3. Where should more money be spent for research – AIDS, cancer or heart disease?

4. Is it better to have health or wealth?

5. Which gender has it easier – male or female?

6. Which is more humane – capital punishment or life imprisonment?

All students were provided with a detailed literary terms list booklet to study from. 

I provided students with  exambank login and password, but if forgotten, just ask. 

All answers should be in complete sentences and should be at least four sentences long per question.  Sentences should be written at, or above, grade level.

Use a Google Doc and SHARE with me when you are totally finished with the tasks.

• How can you tell if a play or film is supposed to be a comedy?  What are the necessary qualities a comedy must possess to be a comedy?
• Agree or disagree: You should always show mercy to others.
• Agree or disagree: If someone hurts you, they deserve to be hurt equally in return.
• Agree or disagree: The law should be obeyed by everyone equally.
• Agree or disagree: The law should be bent or changed to accommodate individual circumstances.
• Agree or disagree: Wealth is not the same as privilege in a society.
• Agree or disagree: It is ethical and appropriate for defense attorneys to use legal loopholes in order to free their clients.

Research Questions

1. What is usury?
2. Why were Christians forbidden by their church to lend money at interest?
3. What is the origin of the word “ghetto”?
4. Write short (1/2-page) biography of Shakespeare, including country of origin, dates of birth/death, three major works, basic political situation or major events occurring during his lifetime.
5. What profession or professions were European Jews allowed to practice during the Renaissance?
6. One technique of literary composition is to take an important word or idea and repeat it as a motif throughout the literary work.  One key word for Shakespeare in this play is “bond.”  Find at least three different definitions for this word and explain the differences among the words.  At least one definition should include the contractual or legal sense of this word.
7. One important technique of reading is to take a general idea an author brings up and see if you can find a similar or analogous idea or situation in your own society or experience.  Shakespeare details some of the problems that moneylending can cause in this play.  What would be a modern equivalent of moneylending?  Describe at least one of the problems that moneylending (or its modern equivalent) can cause to individuals or a society at large.
8. Is it ethically or morally justifiable to compel someone to change his or her philosophical, ethical, or religious beliefs if you believe those beliefs are harmful?

 
NOTE: For the above questions, I expect you to seek out reliable sources of information and cite them in your answers. You may not use Wikipedia.  You also may not use any Internet resource ending in or including the tag “.com.” I also want you to paraphrase your answers – do not just copy words but put them in your own language and own terms.
 
Example:

1. Lincoln warned the South that they essentially had no right to secede, whereas he himself had sworn an oath before God to protect the country.  (Source: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/abrahamlincoln)

Students will build on skills developed in the preceding year. Students will investigate literary themes, techniques and terminology, and develop insight of literature. Short stories, novels, essays, poetry, and drama make up the literature component of the course. The material will be organized to suit the needs of various classes – 10-1, 10-2, K&E. Activities will be employed in fashioning the course so as to suit a wide range of student abilities. Students will undertake a considerable amount of writing: some personal, some in response to the literature, some creative. In addition to improving their writing skills, students will develop expertise in editing and in improving their critical and analytical thinking. Students will be guided in strengthening reading skills and strategies.
