Thesis Statement - One Paragraph (paper II)

Thesis Statement:    

     When Mrs. Montgomery was the sixth grade teacher at MacDonald Elementary, she was known as one of the school districts most outstanding teachers. She was accredited for her teaching skills because she was able to help her students set and meet goals, made learning fun and interesting, was an advocate for children’s self-esteem, always there for you, and promoted life-long learning that would follow students into adulthood.

One Paragraph:

     "We are the only ones responsible for our futures!", said Mrs. Montgomery. She helped us set and meet our goals, reminding us that they should be set in small steps, this way we would be sure to succeed each one. She helped her students stay focused and emphasized her wisdom as she kept us mindful of our choices we would make that would reflect our futures. In the beginning of school year, she would have us write our goals down on a sheet of paper. Along with that, she would have us write a letter to ourselves. As we worked toward meeting our goals through the school year, she would walk and coach us when needed every step of the way.

  1. Sounds like a great teacher. You have a great start to your paper. I wish that there were more teachers in the world like your teacher. Can't wait to read the rest of your paper.
