You will be doing a full draft workshop of your entire research essay, but this forum is specifically to work on your thesis statements and the structure of your essay. For this assignment, post your working thesis statement and a list of the 3-4 most important pieces of evidence you will be including in your essay to support your thesis (use your summary skills!). After you post your working thesis and list, you will be able to see the posts of your peers.
