Intro Paragraph/Thesis
Now that you have already selected one of the court cases in the Topic Selection forum, you have to conduct more research to develop an introductory paragraph with a clear thesis.
For this assignment, you are to submit a 6-10 sentence introductory paragraph that provides a brief overview of your chosen case. You also need to develop a strong thesis which addresses whether you agree or disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision and why. If you do not focus on one of the Supreme Court cases listed in the Topic Selection, you will receive a ‘0.’
Tips
You should start your intro paragraph with a good opening sentence to hook the reader (1 sentence). Then provide a brief overview of your chosen case (3-4 sentences). Finally, the last few sentences should set up your thesis. A sample of a thesis for a different amendment would be: “I agree with the Supreme Court’s decision in (title of your chosen court case) because I believe that sentencing people with a low intelligence (IQ) to death is in violation of the 8th Amendment’s cruel and unusual punishment provision …” Then, briefly explain the justification of your thesis (3-5 sentences).
You need to stick within the lower and upper limits suggested above: 6-10 sentences. Going over or under will result in a point deduction (refer to rubric).
