Portfolio 7: Thesis Statement

How to  write a Thesis Statement


A good thesis statement includes a topic, a precise opinion and a reasoning.

Parts of a Thesis Statement

1- The subject: the topic of the essay.
2- The precise opinion: the opinion on the subject.
3- the blueprint of reasons: how you plan to argue and prove your opinion. You should have 3 strong pieces of evidence to support your claim.

We can list the reasons:

•  at the end of the thesis statement.
•  at the beginning of the thesis statement.
• in the sentence after the thesis statement.

A thesis statement is an arguable statement. You need to research evidence to support your opinion.

The pieces of evidence or the 'blueprint' are only effective if:

1- you explain what you mean about each blueprint point in the body paragraph.
2- you provide detailed examples for each blueprint point.

The thesis statement tells the reader:

• where you are going in your essay.
• how you plan on getting there.
