TKAM Essay: Finding Sources


  1. Introduce TKAM Essay
  2. Library: how do I find sources?
HW: Please read the assignment and rubric carefully and come to class Wednesday (Thursday for 8/9 white) with two current event topics and two historical event topics that respond to the essential question: How do stereotypes influence us? Also, generate a first draft of your thesis statement.

Tips for writing a thesis:
  • make sure it answers the essential question with an opinion rather than an observation. Example: stereotypes are all around us  is an observation. Instead, state how you believe stereotypes influence us.
  • your thesis should give an overview of the main points of your essay.
  • We will be talking more about how to write a thesis next class!
