All You Need to Know to Write Thesis Statements

 What is a Thesis Statement?

To any individual who has been in college, the phrase thesis statement is quite familiar. A thesis statement provides readers with the main idea concerning a paper. A thesis statement should not be confused with the topic because it carries more weight. Through a thesis statement, a writer can express their judgment or opinion.

To write a thesis statement that helps you as a writer to express your opinion or judgment fully, there are a few things you need to know. Below are some basics you need to know to write a thesis statement.

 	
Establish the Topic 

Before conceptualizing the thesis statement, you need to understand the topic you want to write about as a writer. You must be conversant with the topic. If you are not familiar with the topic, you must be willing to invest time in reading to understand more. Reading and researching more helps you develop a strong thesis statement and also helps you get content to support the body of your report.

 	
Brainstorm

Writing a thesis statement may not be easy, especially if you encounter it for the first time. If you face challenges writing a thesis statement, you can start by brainstorming. Brainstorming involves writing down everything you know about a topic you are writing about on a piece of paper. From your writing, it becomes very easy to establish themes and new ideas and, in return, ease in developing a thesis statement.

 	
Types of Thesis Statements

The thesis statement should match the type of essay you are writing. There are two main types of essays: argumentative and expository. 

An argumentative essay seeks to convince the reader that the selected thesis statement is based on logical reasoning and evidence. In this case, the thesis statement should assume a strong position.

An expository essay explains facts. Unlike in an argumentative essay, in an expository essay, a strong opinion is unnecessary. In this case, the writer just clearly states the central point.

 	
Perfect the Thesis statement.

Once you have established the type of essay you are writing, have in place the thesis statement. It is okay to begin with a simple thesis statement that is considered weak and progress to improve it. To establish whether your thesis statement is strong, ask yourself several questions as a writer.

 	
What is your stand/ position?
 	
What are the key takeaways from the argument?
 	
What are the readers going to learn from the report?
 	
Has the question been answered?


 	
Put the Thesis Statement at the End of the Introduction

Most reports take the title page, introduction, body, and conclusion format. The thesis statement should come before the body of the paper and, most preferably, at the end of the conclusion. You risk losing your readers by putting the thesis statement at the beginning of your introduction. By the time they start reading the body of the report, they have already forgotten the thesis statement. It is also possible for the readers to get confused if the thesis statement is introduced too early in the report.

It is also important to note that your introduction plays a key role in creating the urge in the reader to continue reading. The introduction, therefore, acts as the door toward the thesis statement, and therefore remember to create a good introduction that conceptualizes and anticipates the thesis statement.
