THESIS WORKSHOP and ESSAY STIPULATION:

I do not expect you to be an expert on the topics listed on the sheet, and I do not expect you to fully research the topic. For the HONORS guys, your essays can be creative and humorous like "How to Name a Dog" by James Thurber.

For the othe classes, you thesis statements may be funny. Since I expect you to include some details about how you will support your thesis, you can be creative and make them up. For instance, for a thesis statement on the topic of the Summer Olympics you might say the following:

The United States government should require all Americans to watch at least three hours of Olympic competition every day because studies show that such viewership enhances patriotism, and in times of great patrtiotism, the country experiences increased productivity, reduced crime, and fewer hospital visits.

Clearly, I have not proof of the above statements, but you can use your imagination to craft your points.
