Checklist:
Is your thesis directly about one (or more) of the readings we looked at for Unit 2? (Does it actually make a claim about something one of our authors had to say? If instead the thesis makes a general claim about gender, about something that would be true whether you had read any of the essays or not, that's a sign your thesis could be more focused.)
Does your thesis make a non-obvious, debatable claim? (Avoid "people should stop discriminating" or "people should get over their hangups" -- those are like my dislike of mushrooms.)
Does your blueprint lay out the pattern you plan to use for your paper?
