Language Arts: Students continued with Thesis Statements, nailed one down and began testing their statement. To test the statement we separated each of our provable points and found evidence to back that statement up. If there wasn't enough evidence to prove one point, we revised our Thesis statement to accommodate for this deficiency.  Homework: Finish the Thesis Testing sheet (outline of paper-file attached) ready for rough drafting on Monday. Read!
