I have learned that in order to write a thesis statement you need to have a subject that is arguable, yet you must have none of your own opinions involved. Thesis statements are for helping introduce the reader to what you will be discussing in your paper, but don't confuse them with a topic sentance.

A strong thesis should be something that grabs the reader and sucks them into the essay, making them want to know more. It should be strongly worded and arguable, as the whole basis for an essay is to support your ideas and try to prove your point. Without a thesis the reader is lost and doesn't know what they are reading about. Last, but not least, a good strong thesis should never contain matters of opinion or unsupported facts because they aren't arguable. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I understand that in order to have a thesis statement you need to have an arguable subject. Don't use any words in the first or second person, these are not personal response papers. Don't use words like might, can, etc.

This thesis is direct enough but does not make a statement that can be argued.

2a

This thesis uses first and second person pronouns.

3a

This thesis is wrong because it tells you bluntly what the paper is about rather than making a statement that will be supported in the essay.

4a

This thesis uses fence setting words like "might." It isn't direct enough.

5a

This thesis isn't strong enough because of the "perhaps." This is not a direct enough statement.

6a

This is wrong because it contains a statement of opinion. That doesn't belong in a good thesis.

7a

That is good except it isn't arguable.

8a

That is good but is not arguable.

10a

The thesis is wrong because it states the purpose of the paper without making a direct statement to be later supported in the essay.

11a

The thesis is wrong because it contains matters of opinion and unsupported facts.

12a

A strong thesis should be something that grabs the reader and sucks them into the essay, making them want to know more.

Teachers have found that requiring students to write email can be beneficial to the learning process.

2a

4a

Understanding computers is an important skill for students to have.

5a

Using the Internet should be learned in college.

6a

Watching television shouldn't be encouraged by anyone.

7a

Mtv, one of the more popular channels among teens, is often regarded as trash television by adult viewers.

8a

Consistently at the top of the television primetime ratings each week the X-Files is a show worth watching.

10a

Email is quickly becoming an important part of our everyday communication.

11a

Studies have shown that children who use the internet for their research on a consistent basis are shown to have a lower IQ than that of children who use the library.

12a

A thesis statement(explicit) not only lays out the foundation for an essay to be built upon,it also informs the reader of what type of information will be in the text. A weak or broad thesis statement can cause the reader to loose interest before they start the second paragraph; at the same time, having a statement that is to bold or specific can equaly get the same response. Learning to balance the thesis statement as not to offened or bore the reader is the key.
