Thesis:

Give your thesis hear. Remember: what, how, effect.

Justification:

This is where you present a justification for your presentation. Consider: why did you choose the IOP format you did? What aspects of the text are you highlighting? How are you helping elucidate the author’s effect? **YOU MUST INCLUDE 5 quotations from the text in this justification AND these quotations must connect to your thesis.**
