Part 1
Open a new Word document and set it up in MLA document format (See the Week 2, Lesson 2 Instructions page for MLA format how-to videos).
Title this page: Thesis Statement and Topic Sentences for Informative Work.
Write your thesis statement.
Write four to five topic sentences (See example 1 below):
one for a paragraph in which you will define key terms
two to three for each main idea you want to discuss
one that provides an overview of one or more debatable issues related to your topic.
Add a Works Cited page. Use the Insert, Page Break function to move your cursor to the next page. At the top of that page, type Works Cited as the title for the page. Center it, but do not bold or underline it.
Copy the full citations from your Annotated Bibliography onto this page. See pages 271-273 in The Writer’s Mindset for examples of what correct citations look like.
Put your three citations in alphabetical order. Double-space the entries. Do not leave blank lines between them. The first line of each entry should be flush to the left margin with the second + lines indented 5 spaces. See example 2 below.
When you are finished, the Works Cited page will look like your annotated bibliography without the annotation paragraphs.
Post the document to this discussion forum.
Example 1:
Thesis: According to current research, physical activity helps people physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Topic Sentence 1: Physical activity is a part of everyday life (define important terms)
Topic Sentence 2: One benefit of physical activity is that it targets physical health (main idea #1)
Topic Sentence 3: Another benefit of physical activity is that it positively affects mental health. (main idea #2)
Topic Sentence 4: Physical activity can help people live longer and protect them from diseases. (main idea #3)
Topic Sentence 5: There is some debate about how much and what kinds of physical activity are needed to get full health benefits.
Part 2:
Respond to one of your classmates:
Consider their thesis statement. In your own words, what do you think the coming work for this thesis statement will be about?
Read their topic sentences. Without copying the sentences, write a quick (1-3 sentence) summary of what information the author is planning to share in their work.
If the topic sentences are confusing or incomplete, kindly let your classmate know that you found this question difficult to answer.
Look at their Works Cited page. Does the page look like it is correctly formatted? Do the citations look complete? Are the citations in alphabetical order? Let your classmate know if their Works Cited page looks great or if you see anything that needs some work.
Come back to this forum after the due date has passed to read your feedback. If your classmate did not understand your thesis statement or your topic sentences, or if your Works Cited page has errors, make necessary improvements. Ask your instructor or a Writing Center tutor if you need help. Making changes following feedback is a normal part of the recursive writing process.
