– End the paragraph with an articulated thesis statement sentence.
Your aim is to write the thesis statement (your opinion) so that it is clearly worded, concise, and identifiesthe dilemma of the topic or the aspect of the topic that is controversial. The thesis statement is the focal pointof your essay. A thesis is a proposition put forward and supported by arguments. A well-developed thesis statement takesan assertive stance on the identified issue and isdebatable (i.e., there is an opposite thesis to the one that you have proposed). The thesis statement is tobe the final sentence of this second paragraph.
D. Analyzing the Issue (Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5)
Each of the next three paragraphs is a separate reasoned analysis and evidence that supports the thesis. Paragraphs 3 and 4 provide different arguments to support the thesis. After stating your argument, defend it in the rest of the paragraph by using critical analyses and examples. Consider arguments such as historical, ethical, legal, social, cultural or political. However, each argument must be clearly distinct, relevant to the original thesis statement.
Paragraph 5 is to provide an opposing view(with accurate referencing), that is different from the perspective you have put forward as the author
E. Conclusion/Reinforcement (Paragraph 6)
This final paragraph is a summary of the key arguments and makes a final statement about the thesis. Consider describing additional scope or direction of the topic for further study.
