Project Summary: Students should select a topic that they would like to write a paper about. This can literally be anything: their favorite breed of dog, why soccer is superior to basketball, etc. Utilize the outline handout to outline the paper you would write. STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE TO ACTUALLY WRITE THE PAPER. The first step is to develop a thesis statement ("French bulldogs have the best personality of any dog breed."). Then, identify 3 ways you can prove that statement, and list those as the themes of your 3 paragraphs. Next, develop 2-3 supporting sentences for each of your 3 paragraphs. Finish with a summary sentence or two.
