What is a thesis again?

THESIS 101

Remember when you wrote an argumentative essay? Your thesis in that essay was a statement of opinion that was debatable and defensible.

How do I write a research-based thesis statement?

EXAMPLES

For example: The United States should increase funding to education.

It’s not much different for a research project/paper! Turn your research question into an answer using your research!
