Annotatation Explanation to the Composition Nation

Today in class we met in our groups for an exercise on annotation. With very little input, we forged ahead bravely against the complications offered forth by an article with no clear thesis statement. The notion that the thesis statement exists solely as an identifiable sentence was dispatched with in favor of the possibility of an "implied thesis."

The groups reported back to the class on their potentail thesis statements, and an outline for active reading (identifying the main points in order to arrive at the thesis--described by one classmate as "working backwards") was given.

Next class will consist of a writing exercise over the article that was annotated today. Be well. Be safe. See you next time.
