Your Thesis Statement



                    S
What is a Thesis Statement?


S Topic sentence or main idea sentence

S Located in the Introduction or Opening Paragraph
How to make a Thesis
           Statement

S What is your topic?

S What is the main idea you want to write about?

S Take a side and make an argument

S Use 2 or 3 key pieces of information about your topic that
  you want to talk about in your paper
What to Avoid

DON’T…
 • Write in the first person (I believe, In my opinion,
   etc.)

 • Use unclear language (It seems, I think.)

 • Attempt two topics at once (even if they seem
   related). Pick one and stick with it.

 • Just state a fact - A thesis is something you plan to
   make an argument about.
Step 1


S Decide what your topic or main idea is…


  S Example: President Abraham Lincoln
Step 2


S What is your argument or claim about this topic?

S Usually contains opinion words (best, worst, fastest,
  greatest, most important, etc.)


  S Example: Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest
     Presidents of the United States in history.
Step 3

S Include at least 2 or 3 pieces of evidence to support your
  claim or argument

S These should be facts or ideas that you plan to explain
  more in your paper.

S Might use the word “because”


  S Example: Abraham Lincoln was one of the best Presidents
     of the United States because he kept the country from
     breaking apart during the Civil War and he abolished
     slavery.
