Entry # 9 Thesis statement

                                                                 Thesis statement

To write a thesis statement you need to know:

1. Your topic: what your paper will deal with
2. Your claim: what you think about the topic
3. Reasons that support your claim: 3 points that will persuade your readers to believe your claim

The reasons can be:

• at the end of the thesis statement
• at the beginning of the thesis statement
• in a separate sentence after the thesis statement
