2) The thesis statement should fully and completely address the assignment prompt
Respond to all parts of the prompt as-written.
It’s okay to break your thesis statement into a couple of sentences.

Each paragraph contains a single thought, and the paragraphs are arranged in a logical sequence.
Use class materials to build support for your argument.
It should be obvious that you watched the lecture videos.
