The document provides guidance on writing a strong thesis statement and analytic paragraphs. It lists the key features of a strong thesis as being contextualized, connected, thought-provoking, debatable, and specific. For writing analytic paragraphs, it recommends stating a claim, presenting evidence, analyzing how the evidence supports the claim using relevant concepts, and indicating how the paragraph contributes to the overall thesis. It also identifies potential pitfalls to avoid, such as summarizing rather than analyzing or cramming multiple claims into one paragraph.
