Take 1 single blog answer from your summer posts. Copy and paste it into a word file. Begin the process of editing the answer. 

(1) Identify what you believe to be your original thesis statement. High-lite the original. Then, after you have read through the steps to writing a thesis statement, re-write your thesis in a more formal AP approach. Dont worry about getting it perfect, we will be working as a class tomorrow by listening to new thesis statements.

(2) Identify all historical and factual information that directly supports your thesis. This is important in making sure you stay focused and on task while writing. More importantly, this information will give your writing more credibility. 

(3) Research, using your textbook and course notes that relate, and list a 3-5 factual pieces of information, not present in your original post, that could have been used to enhance your answer.

** Being able to edit and self-critique your own work is essential to getting an understanding of APUSH style writing.
