What is a thesis statement? Where is it used?

- Is typically a single sentence at the end of your first


paragraph that presents your argument to the reader.
- The rest of the paper (the body of the essay) gathers,
organizes and presents evidence to support the
statement you claimed as true in your thesis
- A strong thesis statement expresses a clear purpose
of a paper.
- It clearly defines what the paper is going to be
about BUT NEVER USES WORDS LIKE, “My paper is
going to be about...”or “In this paper, you will
learn...”
