sesssion 14 __**14.1**__ What is a thesis statement? - a thesis statement is when u give a persective of how your story is gonna be. Its almost like a hypothisis,but its not going to tell what u think what is going to happen in the story it only happenes if ure talking about science.

Why are thesis statements so important?\ - because when u get a job or something they will ask you to right a essay. in mostly grade 7 and up to have a good essay u would need a good thesis sentence to show and know what your talking about.

__**14.2**__ -- i will prove to the reader that a thesis statement a quick sentence that is the most powerful sentence that gives the whole story a main idea. a. __**What is my topic?**__ my topic will be something that will be make the essay easier. b. __**What argument am I prepared to make?**__ the argument that im gonna make is going to be powerdul and not something ,something that gives the whole essay its point of view. c. __**How can I state my argument as clearly and powerfully as possible?**__ i cant put the statement saying that if or i i would give a summery of the whole summary in one sentence. d. __**Is my statement a direct answer to the question or response to the prompt or claim about the topic**__ yes it is because a gives a direct answer to the whole story. __**DEFINE compound sentence**__ -a compund sentence is two independent clauses joined by a coordinator. The coordinators are as follows: //for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so//.
 * 1) __**A thesis statement is an argument. It is a 1-2 sentence statement of the purpose of your essay: what will you be proving to the reader in the essay?**__
 * 1) It should be toward the end of an introductory paragraph and include enough specifics that the reader has a general idea of the key points you will make to support your biggest claim.
 * 2) Your thesis statement should likely be a compound sentence, including a preview of the major points you will make to support your big claim. So, instead of writing a simple thesis statement like "The end of World War II brought about major consequences" you should probably write something like "When World War II ended in 1945, the major consequences included the division of Germany, the start of the United Nations, and the beginning of the Cold War."
 * 3) To write your thesis, ask yourself 4 questions:

In number 3, explain why the second example thesis statement is better than the first.

__**14.3**__ //**Prompt ****:** Explain the relationship between nationalism and sectionalism in 1850s America. // //**Choice 1:** In 1850s America, nationalism was being overshadowing by growing sectionalist developments as the debate over the spread of slavery reached its highest points and set the stage for the start of the Civil War. // //**Choice 2:** American nationalism grew after the victory in the Mexican-American War in 1848 and the resulting land acquisitions. // //**Answer:** Choice 1 - The first thesis statement is better because it directly responds to the essay prompt, is clearly written, and includes specifics of the argument that will be made in the essay. Meanwhile, the second choice seems to be off in terms of time period and does not include enough specifics. //

__Student work__: **Choice 1:** Aid from the French helped turn the tide of the American Revolution toward victory for the colonists. This, in addition to their previously held advantages of strong military leadership and homeland advantage, led the colonists to win the war and gain their independence. **Choice 2**: In the late 18th century, after years of protesting unfair laws and many key battles, the American colonists won independence from their mother country of Great Britain.
