A thesis statement defines the central purpose and main idea of an essay. It contains a topic and a claim or position about that topic. A good thesis is specific, makes an argument, and previews the major points to be discussed in the essay. It should not merely state a fact, personal opinion, or pose a question without taking a position.

Since there is no narrator, the plot unfolds through characters' actions and speech as they deal with conflicts. Characters are central to dramas as they provide information and drive the story forward. When reading a teleplay, one should pay attention to the list of characters, dialogue attribution, scene changes, camera directions that visualize the story, and stage directions that describe the scene.More Related Content

A claim is the "backbone" of an essay. It connects all the elements of a paper and defines the purpose by containing a topic and position on that topic. A good claim unifies the writer's thoughts under one main idea and prevents the reader from asking "So what?" about the topic. More specifically, a claim is not merely a statement of fact, personal opinion, or vague generalization. It should also propose a solution or make a comparison to effectively argue a position.Wfs academic voice

Quotations should be selected carefully and used to support key ideas.

This document provides guidance on organizing a public speaking presentation. It explains that the introduction should grab the audience's attention, set the purpose, and preview the main points. The body should have 2-3 main points supported by evidence, using an organizational strategy consistently. The conclusion should reiterate the topic and purpose, review the main points, and leave the audience with a concluding thought. It recommends starting by outlining the body, then writing the introduction and conclusion, adding an attention-grabbing opener and memorable closing statement. Transitions and revisions are also important.Ps rate

Various factors can influence speech rate, such as birth/culture, stress, fatigue, and complexity of content. Generally, a slower pace is better than a faster one. The document suggests having partners time each other reading to determine their words per minute and identify ways to optimize their individual speech rates.Arits language usen_word

This document discusses the use of visual aids in public speaking. It identifies different types of visual aids including PowerPoint slides, props, display boards, videos, photos, maps, and charts. The benefits of using visual aids are that they can improve audience understanding and memory retention, serve as notes for the speaker, provide clearer organization, and allow for more eye contact. When creating visual aids, speakers should make sure the aids are large enough to be seen by all and contain simple graphics, fonts, and information.
