Thesis Statements--Literary Essay 1

Please post your tentative thesis. Read your peers' thesis statements and try to find your own unique slant on the literature. Take a risk and have fun with your topic. Don't state the obvious!

Discussions about Ghosts

Observers: Begin by writing the date of the discussion. Then, post your notes about today's Socratic seminar. Express the main ideas clearly and succinctly. Write enough so that a person who was absent today would get the gist of the conversation.

Volunteers: If you would like to share an idea with the rest of the class--especially if you were unable to do so in the Socratic seminar--add your comment to this post.

Class: Please read and comment on each other's posts.

Summer Reading
