Did you learn to write thesis statements like this?

How would you rate this? (out of 4)Slide7

Lists: the 3-point formula

Egypt was able to develop a strong, complex civilization because it had strong leadership, many festivals, and advanced technology.

Listing thesis statements are

3/4

(if they are accurate).

This is a good place to

start

.

There is

no formula

to go from a 3 to a 4. You have to get

creative

with your sentence structure and you have to introduce

complexity

(How does it work? Why?)Slide8

Creative Thesis!

Egypt’s complex, advanced technology ensured the most people possible experienced edifying personal success.

There is

no formula

to go from a 3 to a 4. You have to get

creative

with your sentence structure and you have to introduce

complexity

Slide14

The Strategy, Thesis

Use your evidence to create a thesis with …

… arguable point.

… specific point.

… importance (answers “so what?” question)

That’s why we did the

research first

!Slide15

The Strategy, Thesis

Thesis don’ts:

Use the word “I.” EVER!

Answer the question with the question’s words.

“The best place to live …”

So, no “best!”Slide16

The Strategy, Thesis

Th

e

sis dos

Create an original statement that answers the question specifically.

Minimize the amount of words. Make each one count.

Narrow down the scope so that is as specific as possible.

Claim

the most significant, coolest thing you can based on your evidence. (What can you prove?)Slide17

Thesis Share

While one person reads it, use your arms:

Make a

“T” for topic.

Make an

“A” for specific argument.

Make an

“W” for the answer to the “so what?”

question. The important part!

Pick the best.Slide18

Great Mongol Thesis Reminder

The

Mongols’

civilized violence

brought

new technology and cultural diversity to all of Asia

.Slide19

Any Thesis Review

The Vikings’ hard work and dedication will eventually lead them to the Super Bowl.

Arts programs are vital to healthy societies because they give a way to support the creativity used to invent important things later.

Jeremy Lin is the most important basketball player because he has given hope to others who want to play in the NBA and now know they could .

Expanding our language would bring greater thinking capacity and help solve the world’s problems.
