Coming up with your own thesis statement

HW: Journal 23

I've provided you with several articles on both topics that provide evidence to support and refute each topic.  Your job today will be to scan the article you're given and come up with a thesis statement for your essay.  Two people at each table will study restorative justice and two people will study parent accountability (this was decided yesterday).

ALL ARTICLES ARE ORGANIZED!  THEY NEED TO BE PUT BACK IN THEIR CORRECT PILES IN NUMERICAL ORDER! (with their clips!!)
  • Parent articles are blue and numbered 1-12
  • Circle Justice articles are pink and are numbered 1-16
Take some time today to read through the articles on your topic.  You may begin organizing and taking notes.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY, I NEED YOUR THESIS STATEMENT ON A PIECE OF LOOSE LEAF PAPER WITH A HEADING
