Today is February 22, 2017, in class we discussed what a good thesis statement consists of. There are many steps in created a thesis statement, the following are the steps and keys to writing a perfect one.
Draft→ Revision is key!
    Revise to specify (ADD details through interrogatives)
    Revise to clarify (REMOVE clutter and emphasize strong verbs.)
    Argument should be clear (Right? Wrong? Dangerous? Necessary? Should? Shouldn’t?)
    Your plan- the HOW of your essay (it will keep evolving)
Multipoint or big picture?
    Multi-point for is fine for 3-point thesis, but for 5/6/7 body paragraphs…?
    Topic sentences should specify, but how specific do you want to get in the beginning?
    Always PUSH specificity.
After typing/ writing these notes we then started working on our outlines for the research paper. The first thing that I did was think of a thesis sentence then I began thinking about my intro.

This picture helps you understand that a thesis sentence is working thesis which means it's not your final so you can adjust it to fit in. Or to make it stronger.
