Instructions for Introduction/ Thesis Template Length: 100-150 words Begin by introducing the idea that college students face an overabundance of information and misinformation. They also encounter propaganda designed to overwhelm critical thinking. Therefore, they should extend the active reading and critical writing skills they develop in ENG 101 beyond academic settings. Transition to the broader benefits of strong active reading and critical writing skills for independent thinking outside the classroom. Thesis Statement (final sentence of the introduction): Your thesis must name three specific skills that active reading and critical writing develop in college students that enable independent thinking in non-academic contexts. Each skill will become the focus of one body paragraph. Required Thesis Template: You must base your thesis on the following template. Replace the three bracketed placeholders with your own specific skills. Do not leave the brackets in your submitted essay. While you may alter a few words if needed for clarity, the structure and meaning derived from the template should remain unchanged. Skills probably require several words to describe them. For example: The ability to identify manipulative language is a single skill expressed in six words.  THESIS TEMPLATE: (Required for Creating the Thesis Sentence) College students who apply their active reading and critical writing skills outside the classroom to develop [skill 1], [skill 2], and [skill 3] become independent thinkers who can resist manipulation and disinformation. Note: Do not mention any author names or source titles in the introduction. You are constructing your own argument (i.e. The sources provide evidence, not the subject of the essay).

Body Paragraph 3 Length: 175-225 words per body paragraph. At least 65% of each paragraph must be your own writing. Quoted material should not exceed 35% of the paragraph. (This information is relevant to the Turnitin assignment, not the Honorlock Quiz. Each body paragraph focuses on one of the three skills stated in your thesis. Present them in order of strength: strong, stronger, strongest. Use the PIETIE structure for each body paragraph: P is for Point: Begin with a clear topic sentence naming the specific skill and asserting its importance for independent thinking. I is for Illustrate: Provide a direct quote from one of your four sources to support the point. E is for Explain: Analyze how and why this evidence supports your topic sentence. T is for Transition: Use a transitional word or phrase to move to the second piece of evidence. I is for Illustrate: Provide a direct quote from a second source (different from the first). E is for Explain: Analyze the second quote and connect it back to the topic sentence. Splitting paragraphs: If a paragraph exceeds 19 typed lines, split it at the transition point.
