"ThE LeARniNG PrOCeSS"

Today, in the tutorial, we have a discussion on how to make a good and arguable thesis statement. Each one of us write our thesis statement on the white board to be discussed as class activity. During the two hours; we learn to analyze others', we learn to adapt new way of reading a literary text, and we also learn to make a simple yet accurate thesis statement.

I am excited to submit my draft to Mr. Omid today. I have printed out the draft containing the thesis statement as well as the topic sentences and supporting details. I hope that it will be approved and I can work on it; the sooner the better. However, it does not turn out very well. Mine have been rejected. I am frustrated at the moment but I know that this is the process of learning. The comment given to my draft is that, my thesis statement is quite an appreciation rather than argument. Instead of highlighting my opinion and critic towards the text, I manipulate the author' statements in the text by talking about the narrator's point of view.

it is a very meaningful learning...no pain, no gain. From that moment, I try to rephrase the thesis statement for many times. It is quite difficult to discuss the statement with my friends; that they also didn't have the clue of what is necessary and required in a thesis statement. The same thing happened to them' that they must rephrase their's to be a better statement.

All in all, what I have learn is very beneficial for me but for some of my friends, they are tired of rephrasing their's as they said that Mr. Omid only asked to rephrase but not telling them on HOW to.....I hope that all of us can do well for the position paper.
