Today in class we began to discuss what makes an effective thesis statement for A.P. U.S. History. We briefly discussed how a good thesis statement takes a clear position, while not being too extreme. It should be clear, strong but still debatable. Here is the handout that we went over, and then practiced writing an effective thesis (with a partner) on the back. Our subject was the Jamestown/Plymouth English settlements.
I also handed out an info sheet on how to write Cornell Notes. Our notes for our reading this week, should follow this format.
