Journal Blog #7: What happens next?

We're almost there. Now comes the "easy" part: write the essay. You have worked hard to narrow a topic and from that, develop an introduction with a clear point, with a clear thesis statement. From here, the path forward should be clear.

This doesn't mean that it is an easy path, but the direction should at least be logical and reasonable. For the purposes of this final assignment, you should be thinking of 3 ideas that follow clearly from your thesis statement. They may be aspects of your topic. They may be reasons for your opinion. They may be examples of the phenomenon you stated. Make sure that all of the ideas directly relate back to the thesis statement.

In this journal blog, share the 3 ideas that you plan to use for your Body paragraphs. If necessary, explain how they relate to your thesis statement. Remember to include your ID# and Section # in your post. Aj. M

    1. Ok... this looks good, but my worry is the "discussion" paragraph. Make sure you can keep it under control and not let it get too wide. It should remain relevant with the rest of the essay.

    1. This should work, but Body 3 is at risk of losing focus when you say "other businesses". Do you mean "other businesses" in the energy drink market? This seems it would be necessary.

    1. Body 1 and Body 2 look excellent. Body 3 at this point looks unclear. You may be trying to define "rational" in the mind of a serial killer, which may not seem "rational" to most people.
