Litearary Analysis Thesis Statements- Due 2/9/2010

For tonight you are to go to the following site and study the information about thesis statements.

You MUST read and take notes on the additional links. Finally, in a one 1/2-two page reflection you must explain what you have learned about thesis statements and what you need to do, as an individual writer, to improve your thesis statements. What that means is that you have to consider my comments on your latest essays and compare them to what you have learned from this site and diagnose your "problem(s)" with your thesis statement(s). Your plan to address your struggles with thesis statements should also be addressed in your reflection.
