In sports, proper team function is more important than a few skilled individuals because each part of the team has its role to play, jealously will arise with other team members when the “all-stars” are on the team, and pride hurts a team.

I know this is not the best thesis, and the more that I read it, the more I realize its fallacy. However, if we could change anything by next year it should be this: AP students need just as much help (at least some more) as CP students. We should be told if our topic/thesis is to vague or obvious, because people have been telling their thesis to others and they tell them "that sounds fine" but our grades don't reflect it. I know the comments on this post might say that this strictly complaining but please take it as constructive criticism.
I for one do not take your comments as criticism but consider them helpful. One thought I have had is that most comments about thesis sentences have been directed toward the topic itself which for the most part are fine however when you get down to an actual argument they are often weak or unclear. If that is the case the paper will also be thus.
ReplyDeleteAll of the information the CP class gets is available to AP students. Just let me know you want it and I can work it out.
If you are still struggling with your thesis statement try looking at "writing a thesis statement" on-line and then select "tom march". You will be able to brainstorm ideas and then see them as a sample thesis statement. I have always found this to be helpful.
