ESSAY ORGANIZATION
after thesis is solid...

• ONE: Plan main claims to support thesis ideas
• TWO: Brainstorm evidence to back up claims
  
  • Evidence types
    
  • .ACTUAL RESEARCH! What research studies or experts show. Not using for this essay unless you really want to get out there and look up/cite some data.
    
  • REAL WORLD! Current events/trends! Companies like Apple and Samsung or Snapchat and Instagram vie for attention of humans daily, coming out with newer, flashier models and apps.
    
  • REFERENCES! Books and stuff! Charlotte Perkin’s Gilman warns of the dangers of isolation in her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper”
    
  • HYPOTHETICAL! Imagine that! Imagine if everyone in a city or school only communicated through text.
    
  • PERSONAL EXPERIENCE! From my experience! Daily I experience the reality that cursing Youtube or watching football highlights is exponentially easier than picking up that book I’ve been meaning to read or going to the gym.
    

Have a wonderful break! See you next week.
