Must-know terms

Three terms students must know in the context of expository essays are reason, evidence, and source.

A reason is a generalization that summarizes evidence in support of the thesis. In a
5 paragraph essay, reasons are the topic sentences of the body paragraphs.

Evidence is information that comes from an identifiable source. It can be fact or opinion.

A source is the person or group of people who supplies evidence.

Got thesis &
outline help

Beginning in August I'll be teaching public speaking to high-school students. While I have a general idea of the direction in which I want to teach the course, I've been panicking all summer about how to teach thesis writing and outlining.

Your site is AWESOME.
