What is a thesis statement? A thesis statement is the main idea of
an essay. It is often a point you want to argue or
support in an essay.
Definition - The thesis statement explains to a reader the main idea of the essay, and the writer’s opinion on that idea.
![Page 15: English Composition: Class 7 Richard Wilson. Agenda 1. Registration & announcements 2. Peer Editing 3. Thesis Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f005503460f94c15c45/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• A thesis statement is usually one sentence.
• It is usually placed in the introductory paragraph of an essay.
• A thesis statement is a claim that could be argued.
• The essay will contain evidence and opinions that support the argument.
What does it look like?
![Page 16: English Composition: Class 7 Richard Wilson. Agenda 1. Registration & announcements 2. Peer Editing 3. Thesis Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f005503460f94c15c45/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Things to Avoid
• The first person (I believe, In my opinion, etc.)
• Unclear language (It seems, etc.)• Attempting two topics at once
(even if they seem related). Pick one and stick with it.
• Just stating a fact - A thesis is something you plan to make an argument about.

Things to Include
• A topic (main idea of what you are writing about)
• An opinion about the topic (what your attitude is toward the topic)
