Starter 13 When we ask for “context” in an introduction, what do you think we are asking for? What type of information makes sense to put in an introduction to effectively lead into your thesis? Make a list of AT LEAST 3-5 things (more is better!) Outline Order When you write your outline, I suggest doing it in the following order:
Generally, writing the argument first, then your conclusions, and finally the introduction makes the most sense. That way you know what context you NEED to set up your argument. This holds true for your senior thesis as well. Storytelling With Data Goal for Today = Finish the outline that is due tomorrow morning before class. If you finish during class, please conference with Grayson or Lori to get your outline approved, then start writing! DUE DATES- ON TIME- HUMANITIES

Data that Matters Discussions I’m going to put you in a small group. In that group, I’d like you to discuss the following questions:
Storytelling with DataPut in groups based on topic Framing: This is an exercise in complexity, patience, and problem solving. I’ve noticed a trend of panic with open-ended things. This leads to anger, and then teachers give you what you want (a box to fit your stuff into). For this piece, try to engage in the puzzle aspect of it- how can you tell a story? Thesis Statements: Come up with the thesis statement that summarizes the conclusions of your data that matters assignment. This should be ONE sentence only.
Individual Narratives

Starter 8 (10 min) When we think about poverty, there are many sub-issues within poverty (education, family structure, welfare programs, race/ethnicity…just to name a few). Think about this- if you could answer, “I’m interested in exploring the relationship between poverty and ________,” how would you finish that question?

Chapter 5: How We Rely On Welfare
