Homework C

Dear students,
Here are instructions for homework C:

In groups of about three people, write a thesis statement about your chosen topic (X is A,B,C). You may share the same thesis statement within your group.
Write an outline or draw a map that shows details of your essay.
Then write one body section in one or more paragraphs (for example, section B). Include at least three intext citations within your text per person, and write references for these in your "Works Cited" at the end of your essay.

Kind regards,
