A yearlong course for grades 11-12<\/strong><\/p>\n The senior thesis is a capstone project, the crowning achievement in a student\u2019s academic journey. In completing the thesis, students bring all that they\u2019ve learned\u2014reading, writing, and arguing\u2014to bear on one issue. They learn the background of the topic, analyze other people\u2019s arguments, and synthesize their findings and discoveries, putting it all together to form a true, good, and beautiful whole.<\/p>\n Through the use of workshops, assignments, and presentation practices, the\u00a0Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis<\/em>\u00a0workbook walks students step-by-step through the process of writing and then delivering a thesis. Students will gradually draft the six parts of the thesis\u2014introduction (exordium<\/em>), statement of facts (narratio<\/em>), thesis statement (partitio<\/em>), argument (confirmatio<\/em>), counterargument (refutatio<\/em>), and conclusion (peroratio<\/em>)\u2014as they are taken through the thesis process from start to finish, from choosing a topic to crafting a snappy title, and everything in between.<\/p>\n Versatile and straightforward, this text can be used by students who are only writing a thesis paper, only delivering a spoken address, or doing both. Additionally, the genius of\u00a0Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis<\/i>\u00a0is that it can be utilized by students using any rhetoric curriculum and even by strong students who have not yet studied rhetoric.<\/p>\n Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis<\/i>\u00a0is an all-in-one resource\u2014journal\/scratch pad\/research notebook and rough-draft-to-final-copy writing guide\u2014that will equip students to create a strong, compelling, and well-crafted senior thesis.\u00a0The text is spiral bound so that students can easily draft portions of their theses and take notes in the workbook, either in class or at home.<\/p>\n To learn more about the value of the senior thesis, read Dr. Alyssan Barnes\u2019s blog post, \u201cFrom Sophomore to Senior: Why Students Need the Senior Thesis,\u201d\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Companion Products:<\/p>\n
