Today is Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Beth and I saw a lot of great work yesterday as we took a deeper look at THESIS STATEMENTS. Here are some examples of what I found as I looked over your work...
"As an American Indian, what happened to many a tribe would seem like a genocide, and make the U.S. government seem like a cruel, unforgiving enemy. As an American citizen however, what happened did not seem like a genocide. I do not think it was genocide, as the majority of those killed died of natural causes."
"I've concluded in relation to the genocide known as the Holocaust that the Native American story was in fact a genocide though the context of their conflicts."
"During the 1600's (17th Century) started the uprise of the American Indian story. even before that the Native Americans held their land as a gift. A big event that started a controversy was the Trail of Tears. This was a controversy because some people think it was a genocide and some people don't think it was. This all leads up to whether the whole American Indian Story was a genocide. I think it wasn't a genocide."
"I'm not sure if the Native American story was a genocide or not. There are some things that match up and some things that don't.
The students who wrote these thesis statements have been left anonymous due to the fact that I did not ask their permission before I posted them here. Beth and I do try very hard to respect your academic work. Were you able to find a CONTEXT, SUBJECT, and a CLAIM? From the cluttered minds of C & Dubbs, Teachers
