Thesis Statements They are easier than you think

What is a Thesis Statement? O A Thesis Statement is a one sentence summary of your paper that falls at the end of the introduction paragraph.

Examples O Chimi’s is the best restaurant in Tulsa because of their fresh salsa, fantastic food selections, and impeccable service. O The movie “Pitch Perfect” is a great chick flick because of its imperfect leading lady, great girl-led soundtrack, and the message of the importance of female friendship.

The formula… O A is B because X, Y, and Z. O A=TopicB=Opinion O X= Reason #1 (Body #1) O Y= Reason #2 (Body #2) O Z= Reason #3 (Body #3)
