ENGISH THESIS STATEMENT

Guidelines for Submission: Your thesis statement must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.  

Open up another copy of the Assignment 2, Milestone 1 document and try to identify your main claim, which should summarize your reaction to your selected reading, and your supporting points. Remember that a strong thesis statement should contain a main claim, and three supporting points to back up the main claim. (Feel free to return to task 6-1 to review the material on thesis statements.) Use the framework below to help you construct your thesis statement:  The article’s main claim of __________________ is ___________________ (this is your Main Claim) because ______________, ______________________, and ______________________. (these are your Key Points)
