Homework:
Write working thesis statement
Write draft of introduction

Today:
1. Gallery walk

• Find your topic's posters. Peruse the posters and record any examples or quotes you think may be useful in writing your paper.
• Record these somewhere on your double bubble.

2. Thesis statements: complete a two-part thesis statement.

• In the first part, identify the cause and effect of the conflict.
• In the second part, explain what you will argue Enger is saying about these ideas.

EXAMPLE: Age and youth conflict because those who are youthful in the novel believe justice is not always achieved through legal means whereas those who are aged fully believe society rests in the legal system; through this conflict, Enger asserts that while youth are hopeful and imaginative, those aged are grounded in reality and resigned to follow the widely held systems and beliefs already in practice.

Wow. This is wordy. Can I cut it?

Youth fight (question-debate-doubt) the aged view that justice is the responsibility of the legal system; Enger asserts that the hope and imagination of youth become weathered (ruined-vanquished) by the resignation and logical reality of those who are aged.

OR

The hope and imagination of youth crumble under the aged view of justice that is resigned to a legal system that determines and institutes consequences.
