Answer 1

Thesis statement= the topic of your paper + your opinion regarding that topic.

Here is a easy step by step format to follow:

Step 1: Turn the assignment into a questions. Let's say you are asked whether public schools should require school uniforms.

Should public schools require school uniforms?

Step 2: Answer the question. This is the easy part.

Public schools should require school uniforms.

Step 3: Give a reason of importance. In other words, why do you believe this.

Public schools should require school uniforms in order to create the safest working environment.

Step 4 (optional): Set up your papers organization:

In order to ensure punctuality, higher levels of learning, and the safest working environment, public schools should require school uniforms.

This last sentence not only explains your topic and opinion, but it also tells the reader what three points you will be covering in your essay.

Answer 2

Usually you place your thesis in the first paragraph of your essay/paper. Begin with an interesting introduction and then for the thesis state what you we will be arguing or state your opinion (whatever type of paper this is) and this give three specific topics you will talk about. That way you have the set up for a five paragraph paper which most teachers recommend. The first is your intro/thesis, then your three main ideas then your concluding paragraph. This form of a thesis also helps you organize your thoughts and your paper. Good luck

Answer 3

Your thesis is just what you are going to try to prove in the rest of your paper. Knowing the subject and the type of essay would be a help, but your thesis might be as simple as "Pickles are more nutritious than egg plant." Or, it might really be argumentative. "Conservative politics in the United States have given this nation a black eye around the world."

I wasn't trying to make a political statement here, just trying to show how you could use a controversial theme in your thesis.

Everything after your thesis should go to prove your point.

Answer 4

In some ways, writing a thesis is no different than writing other academic papers, and much of the advice that appears elsewhere in this site will be relevant to the thesis writer. Still, as any thesis writer will tell you, there are some important differences between writing a thesis and writing a course paper

Answer 5

ummm it would be LOADS helpful (for your sake and ours) if youspecified what kind of paper it is... argumentative, research, ect...

well, considering what a thesis is (the summary of your main points) lets say i want to argue that a competitive acedemic atmosphere is harmful to students i woulddo this:

intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro intro THEREFORE placing students in a competitive acedemic atmosphere causes them to (POINT ONE) focus only on beating their friends, (POINT TWO) begin undermining the educational system by cheating (POINT THREE) lose incentives to help their friends, as they are now in competition.

you see what i did? the thesis should be at the end of your begining paragraph, it should be a summary of your main points (i put "point one" so you could see where my points were) that way, you can go on to further elaborate your points

that's the simplest way most kids learn how to write a thesis in english - and the most effective.

Answer 6

Just give one sentence that explains what is in every paragraph.

EX: Kids should be able to eat snacks in school because they can focus better, be healthier, and have more free time during break times.
