thesis

In the multiple-paragraph essay, the thesis statement announces to the reader, “I am going to be discussing something very specific and very important and THIS is what it is.”

In the conclusion’s thesis statement, the tone moves from “we will discuss” to “we have explored”.

The thesis statement gives your reader a clear focus. It, quite simply, states what the essay is about. It doesn’t have to be long, but it does need to be clear.
