Instructions:

Construct two topic sentence outlines (aka "paper proposals"), each with three main points (topic sentences). Both outlines should have five numbered sentences in this now-familiar pattern:

1. Central question addressing prompt squarely by repeating key words
2. Topic sentence 1 answering central question directly
3. Topic sentence 2 answering the question directly
4. Topic sentence 3 answering the question directly
5. Thesis statement: a single sentence answering the question directly and joining together all three main points, 1-3, together (i.e., in the same sentence). 

See this example: http://www.chipspage.com/2313/TSO.html.

Here are the prompts:

1. Topic 1: Discuss advantages of polygamy for today's working woman (i.e., married, with children, pursuing a significant career).
   
   
2. Topic 2: Explain different reasons some people are such passionate sports fans.
