Introduction to Thesis Statements | Essay Writing | The Nature of Writing
The thesis is the argument of your essay. This video explains how to craft a strong thesis that will interest an academic audience.
The first thing to note is that the thesis statement usually comes at the end of your introduction. Often that will mean at the end of the first paragraph, but in a longer essay it can come later.
Your thesis should express one coherent argument. A lot of students are taught to also include three subpoints, but that's not essential. In fact, make sure that you don't end up with three separate arguments instead of one.
A great way to check if you've crafted a good thesis statement is to see if it answers a "research question." Does your thesis merely state what topic you're exploring or is it actually answering an interesting question.
