The Tutorial Session with Mr. Omid

Today is our fourth session, he asked us on the progress for our position paper, mainly about the thesis statement. Actually, this has been the continued session because last week, we did the same thing only that not all of us able to walk to the front and write their thesis statement. Then, he asked us to discuss the sample article about 'The Barn Burning' by William Faulkner. He guide us to identify the introduction and supporting details of the article.

To me, it would be most helpful to do this activity together in order to sharpen our skill in identifying the sentences, why did the writer point out such arguments and the conclusion. During the session, he asked one of my classmates to read the article and discuss. This activity is very effective as my classmates and I can evaluate each other's opinions and we could elaborate more on it.
