Directions:
Using the Outline you created for the Unit 4 Portfolio, WRITE an argumentative thesis statement using your Unit 4 portfolio outline topic. (Alternative to using the U4 Portfolio); Your argumentative thesis statement should INCLUDE the following in one good complete sentence:
Your thesis should...
include an argumentative CLAIM using the topic of your Unit 4 outline. (1 pt)
take a clear stance on your claim. (1 pt)
support your claim with reasons and evidence from the research in your outline. (1 pt)
Be sure to check for spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure before you submit your response. (1 pt)
** Remember that a strong argumentative thesis statement should 1) grab the reader's attention (take a stance,) 2) clearly state your position (make a claim,) 3) and set the stage for the arguments you will present in the body of an essay (reasons and evidence.) Please use the RUBRIC to understand how you will be graded on this construction response.
