    1. It's not REQUIRED, but I think it might be a good idea. That way, there's no question about what you intended to have!

  2. Are we alowed to pretend were somebody else in the assessmint. Like do we have to be ourselves describing you or can it be just a made up character?

    1. "A thesis statement usually appears at the beginning of the introductory paragraph of a paper, and it offers a concise summary of the main point or claim of the essay, research paper, etc. A thesis statement is usually one sentence that appears at the beginning though it may occur as more than one.[1] The thesis statement is developed, supported, and explained in the course of the paper by means of examples and evidence. Thesis statements help organize and develop the system of proper writing, and also serve as a signal to readers about the topic of a paper.[2] They are essential components of scholarly research papers."

    1. Effective conclusion means wrap it up neatly. Restate your thesis and arguments briefly. Yes, logical fallacies are bad, so introduce them and then deliberately knock them down. Ex. Some people might say that we should do this because all of the other school districts do, but that's not a good reason to do something (ad populum fallacy).

  9. For the Lit Project bridge builder there is text to text text to self text to world and are there any more and another question what does text to world mean and what does prediction of later sections mean

    1. Nope, those are your three choices. Text to world means make a connection between the book and the world around you (look at the instruction sheet on Blackboard). Well, let's break it down. What's a prediction? And what do you think a later section is? Put them together, and there you go! Just let me know if you can't figure it out.

  10. so the later prediction would be like what you think is going to happen next in the book
