creating an organized blueprint of your plans for the essay.

UNV 104 Week 3 Topic 3 DQ 1

In week one you selected a research question and began to collect potential resources. Last week you worked to read through three of those articles in search for more information to answer the research question. This week you will be creating an organized blueprint of your plans for the essay. The first step in organizing the essay is to create a thesis statement.

The thesis statement for this type of essay should be one sentence in length and all three supporting paragraph sub-topics should be present within it.

Please post your proposed thesis statement as your DQ 1 response this week. We will be working together as a class to approve and/or revise the thesis statements.

In addition, as part of participation this week, respond to two of your peers’ posts focusing on identifying the claim and three subtopics. Also, within each thesis statement participation feedback reply, provide a credible reference (GCU style) for a source that you think would be helpful evidence for one of the subtopics.
