Step 1: Write a single THESIS PARAGRAPH: (30 Points)
*All of these parts must be included in a single thesis or introductory paragraph:
A. (3 points) SET THE CONTEXT by explaining the political, economic and social history
surrounding the topic/issue question. Be sure to use historically accurate specific examples
and restate in your own words the specific topic/issue question (don’t parrot) (3-5 complete
sentences).
Ask yourself:
? Does my paragraph begin with detailed historically accurate context associated with
the topic question?
B. (2 points) COMPLEXITY: Show understanding of OTHER POINTS OF VIEW to the
issue AND include EXAMPLES (use specific Taking Sides authors whenever possible). (2-4
complete sentences)

qualifier or transitional words or phrases to begin your thesis (I believe. . ; Although . . ; On

what you are going to prove and it must be able to be lifted out of the essay and stand on its
own as a declarative statement. Never use or refer to secondary sources or quote in your
thesis as it should be all you.
