Notebook Pg. 27A Writing great Thesis Statements- Three Levels of

Thesis Statements• There are three levels of thesis statements.Level one- restate the prompt as a statement.

Prompt: Was MacArthur a great leader?Level 1: MacArthur was a great leader.

Level two- restate the prompt as a statement but include the word “because” and say why.Level 2: MacArthur was a great leader because he was intelligent, independent and a winner.

Level 2 thesis statements are so useful because the three things you include after your “because” as the answer to your “why” become the three body sections of our essay or outline. This kind of thesis gives you a clear road map for where the essay and your reasoning are going.

Once you have your Evidence, it is time to write your thesis statement. It is actually easier to do this once you know what you are going to say and what you have evidence for.

Ultimate Thesis of Ultimate Destiny…

Level three- rephrase the prompt in a new way and include your own philosophy when you address the “why” aspect of your answer.Level 3: Greatness in leadership comes from serving ones own people and improving their lives. MacArthur used his intelligence, his ability to think independently and his drive to be a winner to get the American people through their darkest hours during WWII.

What makes a Thesis a Level Three Thesis?• Level three- rephrase the prompt in a new way and

include your own philosophy when you address the “why” aspect of your answer.

• Many of you asked how you know you have included your own philosophy, in order to get a Level 3 thesis statement and I was not able to articulate it, but after school I asked the head of the English Department and this is what she said:

• “Level three thesis statements include three pieces of evidence to prove the thesis statement, just like a typical Level 2. However, in a level 3 thesis, there is a deeper, underlining (below the surface) connection between the three pieces of evidence.

You may have the rest of this period to work on this.

ASQ: What one Russian resource stopped Genghis Kahn and

Napoleon both?

The Deadly Russian Winter

Only Russians Can Survive

The Deadly Russian Winter

Only Russians Can Survive

Minimum temperatures for the Moscow area in late 1941: December, --20°F. The

lowest Temperature recorded that exceptionally cold winter was -63°F.

Still, Russians are Bitter. Stalin fought alone against Hitler in Europe from 1941 – 1944. Russia loses more soldiers and civilians holding the line than any other nation.

Battle of Stalingrad:Winter of 1942-1943

German Army Russian Army

1,011,500 men 1,000,500 men

10,290 artillery guns

13,541 artillery guns 675 tanks 894 tanks

1,216 planes 1,115 planes

German losses at Stalingrad were staggering. The Sixth Army, under the command of Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus, began its campaign with 600,000 soldiers. On Jan. 31, 1943, Paulus disobeyed Hitler and surrendered. On February 2 the

last of his remaining 91,000 troops turned themselves over to the Soviets. The Soviets recovered 250,000 German and

Romanian corpses in and around Stalingrad and total Axis losses (Germans, Romanians, Italians, and Hungarians) are

estimated to have been 800,000 dead. Of those taken captive, only 6,000 lived to return to their homeland.

Official Russian military historians estimate that 1,100,000 Soviet soldiers lost their lives in the campaign to defend the

city, all this in a span of six months.

The North African Campaign

• Fought in North Africa• Axis Powers led by Erwin Rommel• Allies led by Bernard Montgomery• Both groups trying to seize oil in the

Middle East and access to Italy (the back door of Europe)

Remember this?

Pearl Harbor Attacked - Dec. 7, 1941

A date which will live in infamy!

• Japan wanted the natural resources like tin, iron and gasoline that the Americans had stopped selling them when the USA found out about what was happening in China.

• Japan saw American neutrality as a sign of weakness.

• They believed America would give up right away if attacked brutally enough.

Pearl Harbor from the Cockpit of a Japanese Pilot

USS Arizona, Pearl HarborThe only American ships to survive the attack untouched were looking for the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean. Japan had reason to think the Americans could be intimidated into staying out of the War.

Americans were not known for their great military prowess. Most people thought they chose not to fight because they weren’t any good at it.

Japan had already captured large sections of China and South Asia before WWII started but Japan needed the resources of the Dutch East Indies and geographic access of the American controlled Philippines.

Japan’s strategy called for simultaneous attacks on Malaya, Thailand, American-held Guam and Wake, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, and Hawaii.

When the USA joined WWII, the areas in red were under the control of American enemies, the Axis Powers.

Americans weren’t very ready for such a massive undertaking.

Alert!

Turning Point in the Pacific• The Battle of Midway was

fought over and near the tiny U.S. mid-Pacific base at Midway atoll (island). (June 1942)

• After Midway, the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive.

• With the battle of Midway, the US stops the Japanese expansion. From here the Japanese lose territory until the end of the war.

Battle of Midway Island:June 4-6, 1942

What strategic advantage is there

to stopping the Japanese at

Midway?

Battle of Guadalcanal

August 7, 1942, and February 7, 1943•Stopped the Japanese from getting

the resources of Australia

The US uses “Island Hopping to advance toward Japan.

They need to get close enough to bomb Japan directly.

US Marines on Mt. Surbachi,

Iwo Jima [Feb. 19, 1945]Iwo Jima is striking distance from Japan. Americans can easily fly bombing missions to Japan’s civilian centers from here.

ASQ: What advantage would attacking Japanese civilians give the Americans? Think strategically and emotionally.

Coffee House Chat• You and your partner are two soldiers from WWII having a cup

of coffee in the afterlife at a café in heaven.• As you sip your latte, tell your partner about some of the

battles of WWII that you know about. Be as specific as possible. Talk especially about the battle you are doing for the project.

• Talk about your battles as if you were one of the soldiers who fought in them. Try to impress your partner with all the dangerous things you have lived through! Whatever your partner says, try to beat it with an even more dangerous (but accurate!) battle experience.
