Facts With In-Text Citation

Post two facts from outside sources that support your thesis. You must incorporate your facts into a paraphrase or a direct quote within the context of a larger idea from you (i.e., NO DROP QUOTES). You may not use a website with a .com domain name, nor a wikipedia source.

After you have submitted your facts, create a TYPED works cited citation for those facts to turn in tomorrow in class. Example:

Many students report that they, “despise MLA documentation” (Jones 4).

My Works Cited would look like this:

Jones, Freddie. Student Opinions. New York:  Bacon Press, 1984.

Introduction to Research and Documentation — Thesis Statements

Please post and respond to thesis statements here. Remember that each thesis statement you come up with should be reflective of something you are truly thinking of researching. Therefore, each statement must have some association with class material in English class as a whole, or perhaps Ancient Civilization class.

*Reminder

Thesis statement rules:  a) never a question, b) never a verified fact, and c) always conveys the writer’s opinion about the topic.
