Stage Two


Hi! Dr Rivera and my classmates, I hope everyone had a great long weekend! The Tuesday was the first day for school after the long break. During that class, we taked about the stage two - "Writing the Controlling Idea/Organizing and Developing Support". I took some note from that class, and I wanna share the following information with everyone, but I'm sure you guys also did it already.^_^

Writing the Controlling Idea/Organizing and Developing Support


Defining the Controlling Idea


  • Topic sentence / Thesis

  • Subject and Treatment



  1. The treatment is what you intend to do with you subject.

  2. The effective controlling idea presents a treatment that can be developed with supporting information. The ineffective one is vague, too broad, or too narrow.

I hope everyone has a great day and see you all on this coming Thursday!
-Hai, Zhan(Odin)
