PERSUASIVE WRITING


THESIS statements


The thesis statement is the main idea of the written work. Every other paragraph fits within the main idea presented in a thesis statement.

A thesis statement should be:

  • specific enough to be more than simply a vague topic
  • general enough that every paragraph fits inside of it 
  • A thesis statement should never explicitly state that it is a thesis statement. Phrases like, “I think” or “I feel” or “I believe” are poor choices. Simply state the main idea. Avoid using a term like, “this is my thesis statement” or “my thesis statement is.”
