view about the story;

elements of a story
 the plot, setting, character, conflict, climax, and resolution; and
use transitional devices that signal time order.
THESIS STATMENT

all other ideas revolve

2. Focuses on a specific issue
3. States a stand on a topic
4. Says something meaningful by answering the
questions: “So what?” “How?” “Why?”

e.g.

joining the Reserve Officers Training Corps.
THESIS STATMENT
3. Avoid stating only facts.

oppose.
- Reveal your attitude toward the topic.
THESIS STATMENT
Examples of Thesis Statement:

good training ground for an athlete who wants to
play for a college basketball team.

reasonable measure because the additional
revenue generated can go to the much-needed
improvement of the train’s coaches.
