PRE-WRITING TECHNIQUE - THESIS STAMENT

24th January 2011

What’s a thesis statement????

-After you have brainstormed and you have some main ideas of what you would like to write in your essay, you can begin thinking about writing a thesis statement.

-A thesis statement is a complete sentence that contains one main idea. This idea controls the content of the entire essay.  A thesis statement that contains subpoints also helps a reader know how the essay will be organized. Look at the introductory paragraph below.  See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints.

  

 

Example :

When I was young, I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday. When I played, I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book.  As I grew older, my desire to become an ESL teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States.  As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher, there are three reasons that stand out.  They are: my love for the English language, my innate interest in how people learn, and my desire to help other people .

As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher, there are three reasons that stand out. - 

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay.

They are: my love for the English language, my innate interest in how people learn, and my desire to help other people . -

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

can change to > There are some reasons why I want to becoming a teacher

26th January 2011

What is PRONOUN?

A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.
Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.

Example :


I              Me         Mine
She          Her        Hers
He           Him        His         
We          Us          Ours
They        Them      Theirs
It             It           Its
You          You        Yours
