Writing a Thesis

Writing a thesis can be a little bit intimidating if you are not clear on what a thesis is or how to write a good thesis.

Basically writing a thesis is a way to tell the reader what your paper is about in one brief paragraph. First begin with a short introduction to your topic then include in one or two sentences your position about the topic. This position is your thesis statement and summarizes the argument you will present in your paper.

The rest of your paper provides evidences or proof that support your thesis, and tries to persuade the reader to agree with your thesis.

Coming up with a good thesis statement requires thought and consideration. Make sure your position is clear and you have strong arguments to support your position. There are many great resources online for writing a thesis. Take advantage of your local library and argument papers to get good examples.
