Aim for about one to three sentences. Then, respond to at least one classmate with some helpful advice on the things you like about their writing and how they might make their thesis stronger. This discussion is graded as complete/incomplete and will not be considered complete until you have both made your own post and responded to a classmate.Please choose a classmate that has not yet received feedback on their writing to respond to.In general, look for the following elements in the thesis statement you are reading today.Is the topic of the paper clear, detailed, and specific?Is the writers position on the issue clear? Does the thesis sound like it is making a definite argument about something that matters?Is the thesis actually arguable? (This means: the thesis should not be arguing something that absolutely everybody would already know, or agree with, at first glance.)
