49. New: 87 Deceased NFL Players Test Positive for Brain Disease SEPTEMBER 18, 2015  by JASON M. BRESLOW http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/new-87-deceased-nfl-players-test-positive-for-brain-disease/A total of 87 out of 91 former NFL players have tested positive for the brain disease at the center of the debate over concussions in football, according to new figures from the nation’s largest brain bank focused on the study of traumatic head injury. Researchers with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Boston University have now identified the degenerative disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, in 96 percent of NFL players that they’ve examined and in 79 percent of all football players. The disease is widely believed to stem from repetitive trauma to the head, and can lead to conditions such as memory loss, depression and dementia. In total, the lab has found CTE in the brain tissue in 131 out of 165 individuals who, before their deaths, played football either professionally, semi-professionally, in college or in high school.

More specifically, the New York Times has not done this since 1920 during that year’s presidential race.

80. You’ve got to dig deeper than this:Jeffrey Dahmer was guilty of killing people.It’s a good starting point, but it needs strengthening.Write a bad (as in basic) thesis statement in your journal.

81. Something more like this:Despite the gift he was given with receiving probation for his intoxication manslaughter charge, Ethan Couch ran from the police to Mexico after breaking his terms of probation, and a harsh punishment for him should follow in adult court.

82. Or, something like this:Although Casey Anthony was found innocent by a jury of her peers, she should have been found guilty because of the physical, circumstantial, and eye witness testimony; likewise, she should spend the rest of her life in prison.

83. Consider this for (potential) 3 areas of info to be addressed in your paper.My person is guilty.Physical EvidenceCircumstantial EvidenceEye Witness TestimonyMy person is innocent.Physical evidence was wrong.Circumstantial evidence was wrong.Eye witness testimony was wrong.

85. Other Words to Consider

86. Grab your Research Project packet. Step 4: Construct a Thesis StatementAn argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.

89. Owl Purdue Online Writing Lab https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/1/Your thesis statement should be specific—it should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper.Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.

92. How to write a body paragraphTopic Sentence: explains a reason for your thesis; one aspect of the problem. Example: The police officers uncovered a number of items from the Anthony house during their investigation of Casey Anthony.

93. How to write a body paragraphSupporting Evidence: (facts, examples, descriptions, support, proof, evidence) (quote from your sources)Remember, the topic sentence read: The police officers uncovered a number of items from the Anthony house during their investigation of Casey Anthony. Example: The investigators then presented it as evidence at Casey’s trial. They claim that the trash bag Caylee’s dead body was found in came from a roll of bags at the Anthony home. They also claimed that the duct tape on Caylee’s body matched duct tape with identical writing as the roll from the Anthony garage, and a heart shaped sticker adhered to the duct tape on Caylee’s face matched a package of stickers found in Casey’s bedroom.

94. How to write a body paragraphCommentary: (your conclusions)Example: The jury should have been able to conclude Casey’s involvement when items could be paired from her home to the crime scene. It is baffling how a different conclusion was made.
