Review what makes a good thesis statement.
Group critique of thesis statements
How does your thesis statement measure up to these questions?
· Does it make a debatable claim about the topic?
· Does it state the obvious or something factual?
· Is it specific or general?
· Focused or vague?
· Is it stated clearly?
· Is it stated eloquently?
· Will there be sufficient evidence to make the argument?
· Does it avoid the first person? (“I think…” “I believe”)
