*gain confidence

As the world continues to modernize every day, children are beginning to enjoy new technologies that were not previously available to the youth of the past.

My Evidence #2

Children (mostly boys) like to watch "JackSepticEye," "PewDiePie" and "Stampylonghead" which do not play on TV but on there streaming apps.

My Claim #1

First, Children can't watch what ever they want when ever they want with TV and with this new technology it's different.

*A claim persuades, argues, convinces, proves or provocatively suggests.

My Summary of 2 points

Obviously, the choice to have more options and watch when ever is favored over the traditional TV.

*Evidence can be given in statistics, facts, paraphrased facts or quotations.

My Re-visit the Thesis Statement

The creation of these streaming apps that allow more choices view and whenever to view, the young television viewers have harshly decreased.

*Elaboration can be analysis, commentary, explanation

There are so many different videos and shows to watch online that any child, no matter what the age, can find something that they enjoy, whether it be off of Netflix, Youtube, or any other of the thousands of other apps available to smartphone or tablet owners.

My Conclusion (Call to action)

With all the greats of streaming devices, will we need TV anymore?

*Ask yourself: How can I redirect the reader to think about the next logical thought on the topic?

With all these great benefits to handheld devices, will TV's soon go out of style?

*Ask yourself: How can I echo the hook in the introduction to bring the reader full circle?

*In a 3 paragraph there is NO NEED for thesis clarification or main evidence in the thesis.

the author asserts that youth prefer to watch videos on handheld devices instead of on a television.

My Thesis Statement

the author claims that kids attention are drifting away from TV and to new software.
