Some individuals find it helpful to talk out their thoughts.
You can do that in Monday's class. Bring in your thesis for the letter assignment. I will critique it. I will not say, "This stinks," or make a comment remotely close to that.
I will show you how to improve it, what details may support it, and if you wrote a conclusion rather than a thesis. If you wrote a conclusion, I will attempt to help you "back up" your thinking until you finally have a thesis.
I have done this in the past. The students who participate feel better about what they are thinking and usually find creating their assignments somewhat easier.
I look forward to seeing your theses on Monday.
By the way, you can also review them with me on Sunday between three and five. As always, I will be sitting in the library's coffee shop at that time, my office hours.
