Hello friendly volunteers/moderators,

For each body paragraph thesis, do we provide a general statement on a concept of discovery we're about to talk about? Or do we refer to the text with snippets of certain concepts (e.g. Character's exploration of unknown lands has a far-reaching impact on him, which ultimately revitalises his perspective towards...)

Thanks :P

Hey there! ;D

Each paragraph should indeed have a sentence at the start giving a brief conceptual statement about what the paragraph will cover. I generally call this a Motherhood Statement, it acts like a mini-Thesis for the paragraph ;) you still do the conceptual stuff throughout the paragraph! But you set up the reader at the start :)

I've always loved this 'Motherhood Statement' business; only ever heard Elyse and yourself call it that. If anyone else is as confused as I was the first time they heard the term, it's just a topic sentence/golden sentence/whatever your teacher calls it.

Pretty sure one of the Bede teachers coined the phrase ;)

We didn't start the War, but by God, we will finish it...

So do we basically rephrase concepts from the rubric? If so, it feels like I'm repeating what I stated in the main thesis.

This is one from my essay: "Hurley’s planned exploration of the unchartered Antarctic during the Mawson and Shackleton expeditions had impacted him at an emotional level, compelling him to share it in a revitalising matter. "
