Read pp. 290–291 in Ch. 18. Those pages provide an overview of writing that persuades. Ch. 4 provides ideas for choosing a topic.

Based on the readings from the text this week identify key points to keep in mind when working on the thesis statement and introduction of your essay.
Please reread what you posted and let us know why no one here can do this for you.
Also, let us know if you have a question.
To answer this question, you need access to a specific book or source that contains the pages mentioned (pp. 290-291) in Chapter 18. Since I am an AI and do not have access to specific books or sources, I am unable to provide you with the exact information on those pages.
However, I can guide you on how to find the answer yourself. Here are the steps you can take to complete the task:
1. Retrieve the book or source mentioned in the question (presumably a textbook or reading material related to writing essays or persuasive writing).
2. Open the book to Chapter 18 and locate pages 290-291.
3. Read the content on those pages, which should provide an overview of writing that persuades.
4. Additionally, refer to Chapter 4 of the same book, and identify ideas for choosing a topic.
5. After understanding both the overview of persuasive writing and the ideas for choosing a topic, refer to Appendix B of the book that likely contains a list of possible topics for essays.
6. Evaluate the topics mentioned in Appendix B based on your understanding of persuasive writing and the ideas provided in Chapters 18 and 4.
7. Choose a topic from Appendix B that aligns with the guidelines and principles discussed in the chapters.
Regarding the second part of your question, to identify key points to keep in mind when working on the thesis statement and introduction of your essay, you would need to review the sections discussing thesis statements and introductions in the readings from the text covered during the week. These sections should provide specific guidance regarding the construction of a thesis statement and an effective introduction.
