Writing a Thesis
A thesis is a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point of an essay.
Most of the time, the thesis will be the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.
The thesis drives the essay because it is developed, supported, and explained throughout the text by examples and evidence.
Thesis Example
Review the prompt: How can animals and people help one another?
Your essay or PowerPoint would then explain how animals and people make each other healthier and happier by providing evidence from the texts you read and connecting to real-world examples
Your thesis might be something like: Animals and people help one another by making each other healthier and happier.
