The 'Thesis Statement'

Presenting a position paper is one of our assignment with Dr. Malachi. Before this I never experienced on how to do the 'position paper' and even knowing what is it. With the help of my tutor, Mr. Florence, I manage to get some information and guidance to do my assignment.
A thesis statement are:-
  • 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.
  • makes a claim that others might dispute.
  • is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presentsyour argument to the reader.
