Presentation Transcript
What is a microtheme? The MICROTHEME, a brief essay limited to one side of a 5" x 8" index card, is an ideal instrument for painlessly increasing the written content of a course. Brief, and thus easily graded, it is educationally sound, for a great deal of thinking must precede the writing.
1stSentence Restate the question or prompt, include a thesis statement (your opinion, feeling), and include the 3 details you will be discussing. A thesis statement never uses a pronoun. (ex. I, we,you) This might be a long sentence so watch your sentence structure to make sure you don t use run-on sentences! (Think about using a semi-colon. )
2ndSentence Address the first point (detail) you introduced in your thesis statement.
3rdSentence Provide evidence from the text (cite and example) that supports your statement from the 2ndsentence.
4thSentence Analysis of your example provided in the 3rdsentence. Explain how or why your example answers the prompt.
5thSentence Address the second point (detail) you introduced in your thesis statement.
6thSentence Provide evidence from the text (cite and example) that supports your statement from the 5th sentence.
7thSentence Analysis of your example provided in the 6thsentence. Explain how or why your example answers the prompt
8thSentence Address the third point (detail) you introduced in your thesis statement.
9thSentence Provide evidence from the text (cite and example) that supports your statement from the 8th sentence.
10thSentence Analysis of your example provided in the 9thsentence. Explain how or why your example answers the prompt.
11thSentence This is your conclusion sentence that restates the thesis and wraps up the piece with a nice bow! Your entire microtheme will be 11 - 12 sentences total! Hooray!
