Paper 2 Draft Thesis Pararaph (with Blueprint)
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?

Dr. Jerz,
Just a quick question. Are we submitting in our Unit 2 Thesis Statement to turnitin.com, and if so under what assignment? Under Paper 2?
You're right, Alysha, at the moment the slot still just says "Paper 2." I'll rename that slot "Paper 2 Thesis Paragraph" just to be extra clear.
