DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
A thesis statement is ONE sentence that tells your reader exactly what your paper will be about.
Your thesis statement is ALWAYS the last sentence in your first paragraph.
Thesis statements are better when they are not based on your opinion. Thesis statements should be based on strong facts.
Thesis statements should never include the words “I’” or “you.” In fact, your entire research paper should not include these words. Anyone know why?
Your thesis statement should state your topic and the main point you’re driving at with that topic, plus how the subtopics will demonstrate this point.
My topic: Elvis Presley My main point: How his
many talents were inspirational to others
My subtopics: Elvis’s film and music careers
Many people today who hear Elvis Presley on the radio are unaware that he also had a successful film career; it was his music however, that inspired so many artists who came after him.
