FCA:  Title Author Warning
FCA:  3 examples
FCA: complete sentences


In the book 1984 by George Orwell, the author warns his audience of the dangers of totalitarianism.  In the book the population is completely controlled by the government.  If you think or say anything against the government the thought police will round you up and take you to the ministry of love and torture you (E1).  Another way they control their people is through constant surveillance.  Their are cameras and microphones everywhere and telescreens in every home to watch the people (E2).  In addition there is surveillance propaganda everywhere.  The main character Winston Smith is constantly passing posters that say "Big Brother is Watching You"  to remind him that he is under surveillance (E3).

The new cell towers will boost your wireless connection. 5G has a higher frequency than your average 4G LTE, because it has such a high frequency antennas will be built on small cell sites at least 500 feet from each other. This will make is easier for the high frequency waves to travel farther and through objects. What people may not realize is how it affects the human body.

A thesis statement is one sentence that expresses the main idea of a research paper or essay, such as an expository essay or argumentative essay. It makes a claim, directly answering a question.
You must be very specific, summarizing points that are about to be made in your paper, and supported by specific evidence. Generally, your thesis statement can be the last line of the first paragraph in your research paper or essay. It must be provable.  



Bad: All retirees should relocate to Florida.
- Too broad and unspecfic


Good: Retirees should relocate to Florida, where 75% of Americans choose to settle, because you will afford yourself the opportunity to develop a wide array of friendships.
