I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Respond to discussion and respond to peer.
Post your working thesis statement and sentence outline here. Make sure that each topic sentence in your outline has a transition and uses words that tie it in with the thesis statement.
Guided response:
Choose one of your peer’s sentence outlines, and restate, in your own words, the claim being made (the thesis) and the arguments that will support it (expressed in the topic sentences). To create an effective paraphrase of your peer’s outline without reusing much of the original wording, try this technique:
- Read the outline a few times, until you feel like you have a good understanding of it.
- Put it aside and don’t look back at it as you write your paraphrase.

Working thesis statement: The implementation of mitigating measures to protect critical infrastructure systems from cyber attacks should be a top priority for government and private companies.
Topic Sentence 1: Cyber attacks against critical infrastructure can affect millions of peoples’ access to utilities if carried out.
Topic Sentence 2: Protection from the financial costs that may be incurred and passed on to consumers due to cyber attacks should be prioritized by both private and public critical infrastructure companies.
Topic Sentence 3: As we move to a more digitized world, the access these technologies have require stronger protection measures.
Topic Sentence 4: Lastly, implementing a network of lessons learned in order to prevent similar attacks should be a top priority for critical infrastructure companies.
