Discussion - Developing Reasons

In the same Google Doc you shared with me, add in reasons that will become the topic sentences of your main body paragraphs. Review all the evidences you have gathered so far and your thesis statement. What are your reasons that connect your evidences to your thesis statement? In other words, why do you think your thesis statement is true? Remember that your evidences cannot be your reason. Each reason will begin your main body paragraphs as topic sentences.

List 2 of your reasons as a topic sentence form under your introduction paragraph and post your Google Doc link here.

Here is a sample:

Reason #1:

Although low income and long-term residents of gentrifying neighborhoods and cities have access to more job opportunities, they don’t necessarily become financially stable; by not being able to thrive in a gentrifying environment, they are left with deprived quality of life.

Reason #2:

Regardless of the rapid increase with which gentrifying neighborhoods and cities create and provide new and enhanced housing opportunities, most low income and long-term residents are eventually left physically displaced and in need of a home.
