+
+# Notes on What a Thesis is
+
+- A thesis is:
+	- A claim (not a list)
+	- Debatable
+	- Should catch a reader's attention
+	- Living in the Introduction
+	- Can be restated at the end **in a different way**
+
+- Signs of a Weak Thesis Statement
+	- Not Debatable
+	- Too many details (not often the problem, though)
+	- Not specific enough (too general -> not arguable)
+	- Hard to distinguish
+
+---
+
+# Evidence Burgers for Body Paragraphs
+
+- The **Top Bun**
+	- Introduces what the paragraph is going to talk about
+
+- The **Cheese**
+	- Context for the evidence you will introduce
+
+- The **Patty**
+	- The evidence (the meat of the paragraph)
+	- Should be the author's voice, but can also be a quote (with a page number citation)
+
+- The **Tomato/Onion/Lettuce**
+	- Restate the evidence
+	- Make it easier for the reader to follow you
+
+- The **Bottom Bun**
+	- Analysis
+	- "How does this evidence support the thesis statement?"
