Talk:Thesis statement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How about some examples of good vs. bad thesis statements?

[edit] More info?

This stub doesn't do much to describe how to form a thesis or how to turn it into an essay, nor does it discuss whether it is essential in academic writing. For example, must an essay always contain a thesis statement, or does it depend on the style of the author and the type of essay?

Don't change a thing! It's perfect just the way it is.

Um, it was a pile of chaos. I've replaced it with what I hope is a more coherent summary of the first link (which appears to be the source for what was there before) and have given some more links. Perhaps an example would make this clearer - maybe someone can choose one from the links. Oh, and signing your discussion posts is much appreciated. Now, categories anyone? --WiseWoman 20:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] page move

The move request has been removed. Thesis now redirects to Dissertation, and thesis statement will remain here. Exploding Boy (talk) 16:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
