Tragic Hero

Remember as we read that Macbeth is a Tragic Hero; he suffers a tragic fall due to a tragic flaw ... what a tragedy!!!

Topic Sentences

Topic sentences are vital aspects of an effective essay. They work with your thesis statement to give your paper a solid organization. Remember, everything in each individual paragraph is guided by the topic sentence.

(In the above mini-paragraph, the bolded sentence serves as the topic sentence because it tells the reader what will be discussed in the paragraph.)

I realize that there is some difficulty with thesis statements and topic sentences. We will address all of your concerns in the next class or two; remember, this essay is not due until next Wednesday (maybe even Friday).
