Creating Thesis Statements
Order Instructions
Building strong thesis statements is the first step to creating strong essays. They are like maps or GPS systems for outlining the whole essay.
Choose one of the broad topics from the list below. You will write on this topic in the Discussions. This is not the topic, however, for the essay in the Assignments. In other words, we are building two different essays: one in the Discussions, and one in the Assignments.
The Electoral College in the US
Learning to Speak another Language
Going to an Online University
Immigration
Art and Artists
Owning a Home
The Director’s Role in Filmmaking
Repairing a Car Engine
The Environment (THIS THE TOPIC I PICKED)
Music
Refine your chosen topic to something manageable; it is impossible, for example, to write all there is to know about music.
Too broad: Many musicians have had a great influence on history.
Refined: Beethoven’s accomplishments as a musician, his loss of hearing, and his continued influence on today’s music make him one of the finest composers of all time.
Spend a little time researching your refined topic. Go to the APUS Trefry Library or Google Scholar.
Write a thesis statement that includes the refined topic + argument/assertion + 3-point essay map.
Post your thesis statement to this discussion.
Critique the thesis statements of your peers.
Do you see three clear parts?
Do you see the three points of the essay map?
Are any of the points too similar (each point should be a separate idea)?
Do you have questions about the topic?
Did you find any research on the topic (this will benefit your classmate and be good research practice for you :))?
