Thesis+Statement

**__Thesis__**

==‍The thesis is **//one sentence//** about what you are planning to prove about your topic. ==

A good thesis...

- clearly defines the argument your paper will support, should state your opinion, which can then be defended by FACT - can be defended with evidence - is specific - is original - is provocative, (which means it gets people thinking or questioning)  or unique (your own)

(Sometimes you can get good advice about writing thesis statements from college writing centers; Colorado State has a site designed to help college students build thesis statements. []
