Next Essay Phase

1) Craft a thesis paragraph as you did for the prior essay. It should contain your thesis (italicized), an explanation of its terms and intent, and any necessary framing (for example, if your thesis might seem too obviously true, show how at least some reasonable people might disagree). Your thesis paragraph should contain NOTHING ELSE but these elements, and in particular it should NOT contain any reasons for thinking the thesis is true -- save these for the body of the paper.

2) With each premise as the topic sentence of its own paragraph, the premise itself likewise italicized, use each paragraph to explain and defend its premise.

This phase is due at 5pm on Friday, December 2, as an email message sent to myself and Kyle (John) Innis.
