ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Body Paragraph 3

IntroductionIntroductionThesis Statements

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Whatrsquos a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

HOW CAN YOU WRITE A GOOD THESIS STATEMENT

bull Your thesis needs to show your conclusions about a subject

Please remember that strong thesis statements have each of the following characteristics

1 A strong thesis statement takes a stand

2 A strong thesis statement makes people want to discuss it

3 A strong thesis statement expresses one main idea

4 A strong thesis statement is specific

Now take your scissors and starting at the folded edge cut a strip from the folded edge up to the line you drew Make the first strip about 34 away from one of the short edges and continue to cut several strips along the piece of paper like shown in the picture above

Once all your strips are cut you should unfold your piece of paper and refold it lenghthwise so the pencil mark will be hidden on the inside

You can now color or embellish the outside of the lantern

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Whatrsquos a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

IntroductionIntroductionThesis Statements

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Whatrsquos a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

2 A strong thesis statement makes people want to discuss it

3 A strong thesis statement expresses one main idea

4 A strong thesis statement is specific

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

Use the ruler and make a straight line about 34 away from one of the 85 long edges Cut this strip off and set it aside to be the lantern handle

Next fold the piece of paper in half lengthwise making sure you line up all the edges Draw a line along the open long edge of the paper about 34 of an inch from the edge

Now take your scissors and starting at the folded edge cut a strip from the folded edge up to the line you drew Make the first strip about 34 away from one of the short edges and continue to cut several strips along the piece of paper like shown in the picture above

Once all your strips are cut you should unfold your piece of paper and refold it lenghthwise so the pencil mark will be hidden on the inside

You can now color or embellish the outside of the lantern

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

Now take your scissors and starting at the folded edge cut a strip from the folded edge up to the line you drew Make the first strip about 34 away from one of the short edges and continue to cut several strips along the piece of paper like shown in the picture above

Once all your strips are cut you should unfold your piece of paper and refold it lenghthwise so the pencil mark will be hidden on the inside

You can now color or embellish the outside of the lantern

To assemble the lantern simply roll the paper into a tube shape as shown in the photo above and staple the edges together

Finally using the strip you cut of the paper in step 3 attach the handle by taping or stapling the ends of the strip of the paper just inside the top of the lantern

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Whatrsquos a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

After you have brainstormed and you have some main

ideas of what you would like to write in your essay you can

begin thinking about writing a thesis statement

Whatrsquos a thesis statement

DefinitionDefinition

Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a complete sentence

that contains one main idea This idea controls

the content of the entire essay A thesis

statement that contains subpoints also helps a

reader know how the essay will be organized

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

DefinitionDefinitionThesis Statement

The thesis statement contains the main idea that controls the content of the essay

Subpoints in the thesis or nearby help the reader know how the essay will be organized

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

Since the thesis statement is the main

statement for the entire essay it should express

a complete thought and be a complete sentence

The thesis statement is asserting an opinion or

idea so it should not be a question

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesMain Idea in a Complete Sentence

The sport of cross-country running

Why do I want to be a teacher

This is not a complete sentence

The sport of cross-country running has allowed me to get in better shape and meet some interesting

people

Being a teacher is a great profession because it allows me to work with students and be creative

This is a question not a statement

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people

Look at the introductory paragraph on the next slide See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints

When I was young I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday When I played I would often gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math problems or how to read a book As I grew older my desire to become an English teacher became clearer as I did some volunteer teaching overseas and in the United States As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teacher there are three reasons that stand out They are my love for the English language my innate interest in how people learn and my desire to help other people
