English 12
Opening paragraph of essay. Refer to the sheet on thesis statements to help you. Try to refer to all the stories in your thesis.

1. It makes a definite and limited assertion that needs to be explained and supported by further discussion:

   trite, irrelevant	Shakespeare was the world's greatest playwright.
   intriguing	The success of the last scene in Midsummer Night's Dream comes from subtle linguistic and theatrical references to Elizabeth's position as queen.

2. It shows the emphasis and indicates the methodology of your argument:

   emotional, vague	This essay will show that the North American Free Trade agreement was a disaster for the Canadian furniture industry.
   worth attention	Neither neo-protectionism nor post-industrial theory explains the steep reversal of fortune for the Canadian furniture industry in the period 1988-1994. Data on productivity, profits, and employment, however, can be closely correlated with provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement that took effect in the same period.

3. It shows awareness of difficulties and disagreements:

   sweeping, vague	Having an official policy on euthanasia just causes problems, as the Dutch example shows.
   suitably complex	Dutch laws on euthanasia have been rightly praised for their attention to the principles of self-determination. Recent cases, however, show that they have not been able to deal adequately with issues involving technological intervention of unconscious patients. Hamarckian strategies can solve at least the question of assignation of rights.

Found poem

Ashes for the Wind/rough draft is due on Monday


To create a Found Poem:

* Decide what focus you want for the poem. Ask yourself what message you want the reader to have from your poem.

* Select words and phrases from the story (the ones that you underlined for homework) that relate to your focus and write them down on a piece of paper.

* Combine the words and phrases you have written into poetic form (lines and stanzas).

* Reduce these lines, if necessary, to create a more concise and focused poem.
