Finding Reasons for Your Thesis

Hello folks! Today I started checking your 10, rock-solid facts that you were researching last week.  Now comes the hard part: you need to look at your facts, and then develop three reasons for believing the way you do. 

The first thing that you need to do is to develop a thesis that says what we should do, without using personal pronouns (you, me, we, or I). After your position is stated, you need three reasons to back you up!

If you don't come up with three solid reasons, your paper will be terrible...take your time with this.

The important thing to know is that you need to have at least one fact/quote match up with each one of your reasons.  You'd think that this would be easy, since you have ten facts, but it's not.

Match up as many of your facts that you can under your three reasons.
