Thesis Statements: The Bad and the Better  

*Open in Kami to use the graphic organizer!

 The thesis statement is the anchor of any research paper.

 It states what the paper is about and gives the reader a sense of

 direction — like a road map.

 It is typically the last sentence in your introduction.

 If written properly, a thesis statement should read like an

 outline in sentence form.
