This document discusses the key components of developing an effective thesis statement for an academic essay. It notes that a thesis statement should communicate the main idea or argument being made, and that idea should be significant enough to warrant discussion. For an opinion or argument essay, the thesis must take a position and be arguable. It provides an example of a thesis that could be supported versus one that simply states an opinion. The document stresses that when crafting a thesis, one should back it up with reliable facts, credible evidence, valid research, statistics and expert testimony to give an academic argument rather than just an opinion.

The Research Process for the Informative Speech . .docx
The Research Process for the Informative Speech .
1. GENERAL PURPOSE: Determine whattype of speech you are doing: Informative speech. Example: “I am here to inform the class…”
2. SPECIFIC PURPOSE: Determine what your topic will be. Several of the databases will give you ideas. Examples: “…about the film director Steven Spielberg…” or “…about three types of cancer…”
3. THESIS STATEMENT is the 3 or 4 main points about the topic that you will discuss. Determine your main points from articles in the database.
Examples: “…I will discuss his childhood, his directing career and his awards and charity work...’’ or “…I am here to inform the class about three types of cancer that affect women: breast, ovarian and uterine cancers…”
4. After forming your thesis statement, GATHER INFORMATION. Start at the Library homepage: http://libguides.elcentrocollege.edu/ and specifically for speech class-related topics: http://libguides.elcentrocollege.edu/speech/spch1311.
Search the databases for relevant information. Remember, you must use a minimum of 3 database sources, but all of your articles can come from one database. Always ask your speech professor before using Google to find content sources or images. Many articles and images found on Googled sites are themselves uncredited, and using them may lead to unintended plagiarism.
Look for database sources that provide information including:
· An attention-getter to open with impact such as statistic or expert quote.
Examples: “…Variety magazine reports that Spielberg’s Jaws made nearly $1 billion dollars since its release in 1975…” or “…Planned Parenthood reports that poorer women are 10 times more likely to die of breast cancer…”
· A method of connecting to the audience (motivating the audience to listen to what you have to say), which can be utilized with a question to the members of the audience. Always allow them to answer and count the number who respond in the affirmative. Know some examples in case you get no responses the first time and need more information to ask another question.
Examples: “…How many of you have seen a Steven Spielberg movie? 10 of you…” or “…How many of you have lost a family member to cancer? … How many of you have lost a member to breast cancer? ...”
· Conclusion, such as another statistic or little-known fact for the end-of-speech attention-getter.
· Photographs, maps and measured charts for Visual support (for PowerPoint) and facts that explain them.
5. Give credit to your sources by creating your works cited page as you gather your information. Keep in the required MLA (Modern Language Association) format. A Print version and a Web version of MLA document will be provided by the professor, compliments of Purdue University’s O.W.L. Department. Any photo used in your PowerPoint without a credit line on the slide that coincides with your works cited page sources, or any point or subpoint on an outline without a silent credit (author) list.

Chapter 11
Writing from Research: What Will I Learn?
11.1 The Purpose of Research Writing
L E A R N I N G O B JE C T I V E S
1. Identify reasons to research writing projects.
2. Outline the steps of the research writing process.
Why was the Great Wall of China built? What have scientists learned about the possibility of life on
Mars? What roles did women play in the American Revolution? How does the human brain create,
store, and retrieve memories? Who invented the game of football, and how has it changed over the
years?
You may know the answers to these questions off the top of your head. If you are like most people,
however, you find answers to tough questions like these by searching the Internet, visiting the
library, or asking others for information. To put it simply, you perform research.
Whether you are a scientist, an artist, a paralegal, or a parent, you probably perform research in your
everyday life. When your boss, your instructor, or a family member asks you a question that you do
not know the answer to, you locate relevant information, analyze your findings, and share your
results. Locating, analyzing, and sharing information are key steps in the research process, and in
this chapter, you will learn more about each step. By developing your research writing skills, you will
prepare yourself to answer any question no matter how challenging.
Reasons for Research
When you perform research, you are essentially trying to solve a mystery—you want to know how
something works or why something happened. In other words, you want to answer a question that you
(and other people) have about the world. This is one of the most basic reasons for performing research.
But the research process does not end when you have solved your mystery. Imagine what would happen if
a detective collected enough evidence to solve a criminal case, but she never shared her solution with the
authorities. Presenting what you have learned from research can be just as important as performing the
research. Research results can be presented in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular—and
effective—presentation forms is the research paper. A research paper presents an original thesis, or

The Learner, the Curriculum and the Wardrobe
The workshop ran as part of the Learning & Teaching Conference at Canterbury Christ Church University on Monday 30th June 2014. It was co-presented with Lynne Burroughs and sets out to examine and present examples of how e-portfolios (the ‘wardrobe’ of the title) can be embedded within the curriculum, thus allowing students to demonstrate the development of their skills and learning across a range of personal, academic and professional touch points. Furthermore, it is envisaged that e-portfolios could enable students to become 21st century self-reflective practitioners, a critical graduate skill, and to develop ‘multiple voices’ that are suitable for different audiences.
Delegates were asked to consider how e-portfolios could be situated within their own subject and professional disciplines and discuss the opportunities and challenges in embedding such a tool within their own curriculum.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

- 1. Facts, opinions, and arguable thesis statements Captain Jack Sparrow by flickr user xrrr (Simon Greig) (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) http://www.flickr.com/photos/xrrr/408989152/in/photostream/
- 2. The purpose of a thesis statement Is to communicate the main idea of your essay However:The main idea or issue should be significant enough so that most of your readers do not ask, “So what?”
- 3. In an Opinion or Argument essay, the thesis statement must be arguable and include your position or point of view.
- 4. Here is an example of a thesis statement that includes an opinion but would not lend itself to developing an academic argument:Johnny Depp is the best actor in the world.
- 5. Here is an example of an arguable thesis statement that can be supported with research, facts, and evidence: Year-round schools will give students the opportunity to learn without forgetting during the summer break; test scores and student achievement will rise if more school districts convert to a year-round academic calendar.
- 6. Fact or Opinion A fact…can be proven to be true. An opinion…is someone’s feelings about a topic or an issue.
- 7. When developing a thesis… Your position should be supported by Reliable Facts Credible Evidence Valid Research Statistics Expert testimony
- 8. Arrrgh! Don’t make your essay walk the plank…. Develop a meaningful and arguable thesis statement Support it with valid evidence Distinguish facts from opinions Remember the difference between an academic argument and chit-chat between swashbucklers!
