Today we discussed stage two of the writing process. We learned the difference of an effective and ineffective thesis, as well as identifying the subject and focus of a thesis. In stage two of the writing process, we divulged in topic sentences. To better our understanding of clear and concise thesis statements, we did a few excercises and had a class discussion. A topic sentence cannot be vague nor absolutely specific. A topic sentence must have room for discussion and elaboration.
