Activity: Developing a Claim for Essay 2

Write an introductory paragraph in which you develop a claim that will later be the basis for your second essay, the topic of which is "Are reality television shows more 'show' or more 'reality'?

Remember to include a strong, complex thesis statement, which is a one-sentence claim or argument of the position you will take in your essay. Try to go beyond simply announcing your topic and listing the discussion points you plan to make in the body of your paper; keep in mind that you will work to prove your thesis in the body of your essay.
