Thesis Writing• The controlling idea• One-sentence answer to the question posed; the
remainder of the paper will prove the thesis• Takes a stand on a historical issue or problem• Attempts to develop a coherent and persuasive line
of thought intended to convince the reader of the validity of that stand
• Your thesis is the concise statement of your argument• Created AFTER looking at the documents

Essay Answer• Needs a well developed thesis statement
– Will take rephrasing of question– Better to make an argument
• Yes, but• No, but
• Use several (not all) of documents to support answer– Do not summarize or list documents– Needs analysis of documents’ significance
• Use outside information to support answer!!!– Can be very simple
• Ex: Document by Elizabeth Cady Stanton: outside information could be mentioning Seneca Falls or Declaration of Sentiments
– Should be from time period• Few exceptions for very sophisticated writers
• Should be in past tense• Avoid pronouns• Be specific
