Late work due date: 12/1. Don’t try to give me stuff after that!

RL.12.1: I can cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says.
W.12.2: I can write analytical texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly through effective selection, organization, and analysis.

2. What is a Thesis?
A thesis statement has three parts: a CLAIM, DIRECTIONS (usually three or more), and a UNIVERSAL IDEA (a.k.a. a theme).
These can be arranged in any order, but they all must be there.

3. C-D-UI
CLAIM: the claim is the part of the thesis that contains the verb. Try to use a higher level verb.
DIRECTIONS: the directions are the things you will talk about in your topic sentences.
UNIVERSAL IDEA: the universal idea is your theme—written in a way that everyone can relate to.

4. Example
Shakespeare utilizes diction in Hamlet to portray how the loss of a loved one can lead a person to madness.
Shakespeare utilizes Hamlet’s words and actions towards Ophelia, Gertrude, and Claudius to portray how the loss of a loved one can lead a person to madness.

5. Thesis Creation
Now, try your hand at writing an appropriate thesis for this essay.
Use the formula and create your thesis in your analysis handout.
I can develop the topic thoroughly by selecting the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience's knowledge of the topic.

6. Body Paragraphs
Topic Sentence: You need to make sure that you include your direction here (thesis idea). What major point are you trying to prove?
Evidence: Be sure to use textual evidence, and cite the Act, scene, and line numbers. You cite it at the end of the quote in parentheses (Act I, scene ii, lines 3-4).
Interpretation: This is where you connect your evidence to your topic sentence using your own words.

7. Fill in your outline
Now, begin to find evidence and formulating body paragraphs.
Use your outline to help organize your paper. Keep each of your paragraphs focused to your main idea in your thesis.
I can write analytical texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

HAMLET. Then is doomsday near. But your news is not
true. Let me question more in particular. What have you,
my good friends, deserved at the hands of Fortune,
that she sends you to prison hither?
GUILDENSTERN. Prison, my lord?
HAMLET. Denmark's a prison.
ROSENCRANTZ. Then is the world one. (II, ii, ).
