Thesis Basics Theses can take many forms. First determine the requirements of the assignment.

Requirements Present a debatable topic and prove one perspective through reliable research and statistics.

Pull It Apart Present a debatable topic and prove one perspective through the analysis of reliable research and statistics.

Unloaded Structural Present Prove Skills Persuade Analysis Content Debatable Topic Reliable Research Statistics

Debatable Thesis The thesis must be something that people could reasonably have differing opinions on. Why writing one now. HINT: You might look at your “perspective” on the planning sheets.

What kind of thesis have you written? Claims of fact or definition: These claims argue about what the definition of something is or whether something is a settled fact. Example: What some people refer to as global warming is actually nothing more than normal, long-term cycles of climate change.

What kind of thesis have you written? Claims of cause and effect: These claims argue that one person, thing, or event caused another thing or event to occur. Example: The popularity of SUV's in America has caused pollution to increase.

What kind of thesis have you written? Claims about value: These are claims made of what something is worth, whether we value it or not, how we would rate or categorize something. Example: Global warming is the most pressing challenge facing the world today.

What kind of thesis have you written? Claims about solutions or policies: These are claims that argue for or against a certain solution or policy approach to a problem. Example: Instead of drilling for oil in Alaska America should be focusing on ways to reduce oil consumption, such as researching renewable energy sources.

Researching Further Consider this basic format for a persuasive body paragraph: II. Claim1: The first “area” that proves your thesis A. Data: Evidence gathered to support claim1. 1. Bridge: Explanation of why or how the data supports claim1, the underlying assumption that connects your data to your thesis. 2. Backing: Additional evidence that may be necessary to support the bridge B. Counterclaim: A claim that negates or disagrees with the thesis/claim1. C. Rebuttal: Evidence that negates or disagrees with the counterclaim. D. Transition Sentence: Connects this paragraph’s claim to the next claim
