One thing that I would like to make a goal for this paper is to make sure that my thesis is clear and that all the claims that I make throughout my paper relate back to my thesis. To help take the steps to make sure that this happens I am going to make sure to go through my paper and write out all of the claims that I have in my paper. Next I am going to make sure that I look back and see if I mention all of these claims in my opening paragraph/thesis. Following this I will make sure that all the quotes I put in to support my claims actually make sense. Finally I will read over all the claims I have made next to my thesis and make sure that I have all of the information that I need. One thing that I struggle with is making sure that I have a strong conclusion at the end that helps to bring the entire paper together. I tend to just end up either restating the same exact thing that I already said in the beginning or just doing a summary. To help improve this I am going to get help from my writing lab teacher so I am able to have new techniques to improve my conclusion.
Nice. How do you plan to make sure that your thesis is clear? Remember to be as specific as possible.
