thesis_Statement

  • tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.
  • is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
  • directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself.
  • makes a claim that others might dispute.
  • is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation.
  • The thesis statement is typically located at the end of your opening paragraph. (The opening paragraph serves to set the context for the thesis)

DEFINITION

    A thesis statement is a complete sentence
       that contains one main idea.  This idea controls
          the content of the entire essay.  A thesis
              statement that contains subpoints also helps a
                 reader know how the essay will be organized.
                     Look at the introductory paragraph below.  See
                          if you can identify the thesis statement and
                               subpoints.

;::)There are many ways to approach writing a thesis statement. 
Just make sure that it is not simple a fact and that you can support it with good evidence from reliable sources.
Here are some ways to approach it:
  • Define a problem and state your opinion about it
  • Discuss the current state of an issue or problem and predict how it might resolve
  • Put forth a possible solution to a problem
  • Look at an issue/topic from a new, interesting perspective
  • Theorize how the world might be different today if something had/had not happened in the past
  • Compare two or more of something similar and give your rating about them (cars, authors,computers, colleges, books)
  • Put out your ideas about how something was influenced to be the way it is or was (music, art, political leadership, genocide)


Prewriting Techniques =)

INTRODUCTION???

  • just a warm up call for us to prepare before really began our essay writing,, cehh,, hahah,,, it set up our mind to organize idea, and enhance your skill,, more or less, maybe!
Mind mapping

  • it is one of the quickest ways to organize ideas in a fun manner.
  • Circling ideas and linking the related ones that surround your main idea is a messy way to be organized… which ends up feeling a lot more enjoyable than most homework does.
Brainstorming

  • Writing down every idea that is related to your topic in a list form is one of the simplest forms of prewriting, which is called brainstorming.
  •  The great thing about brainstorming is that you can put anything in the list that pops into your head.
Free Writing

i think no note will be added here,, I really like this topic. it want u think freely and write down anything in come across in your mind,, I also have an example to show to you :
    cout "just gonna stand there and hear me cry. that all                                  
           right because i love the way u lie..  try to                    
           touch me, so i can scream to you not to touch 
           me, burn down the room and i follow u like a    
           lost puppy " endl;
     ( at this time i was listing to rihana's songs 'i   
      love the way u lie) 
bla,bla,bla, after that they all the same.
so good bye for now..
