Thesis Statements

The thesis statement is the most important part of writing a paper.  It is the main focus or main point you are trying to get across.  A thesis needs to clearly state your claim, along with also briefly mentioning all of the points or arguments you are going to cover.  In my paper, the thesis statement was that schools need to change the education system to be more student learning based.  After stating that clearly, I described a few of the points that I was going to hit throughout the paper.
