What makes an
effective thesis
statement?
Class . . . ?

What makes an effective thesis statement?
“An effective thesis statement is a central idea that
requires supporting evidence; it is of adequate
scope for an essay of the assigned length, and it
is sharply focused” (Hacker, 2009, p. 23).
Contains a key word or controlling idea that limits
its focus
Basically, a good thesis statement shows the
reader your slant or position and what you’re
going to write about.
