Tutorial... 11July2008

Today is the first tutorial class for EDU 3234, Readings and project work for teaching literature in ESL contexts. Mr. Omid taught us on thesis statement. The ways of writing a good thesis statement. He also asked us to came out with our own thesis statement in groups based on the story Ovid, Pyramus and Thisbe. I brainstormed in my group to come out with a good thesis statement. I have to admit that it is not easy to write a good thesis statement but alas we came out with our own thesis statement. After a few minutes of brainstorming, Mr. Omid asked each of the group to write their thesis statement on the board and after that he commented on each of the thesis statement. After a good explanation on it, I could understand how to write a good thesis statement. Before ending the class, he asked each of us to come out with our own thesis statement based on the same story together with the supporting poins and he will be discussing it next week.In sum, I felt, I have now understand thesis statement and how to write a thesis statement. It is important to get a good understanding of a thesis statement as it help me in writing my position paper.
