How do I write an effective claim statement (thesis statement)?
- Did I answer the prompt?
- Did I avoid obvious opinion words? (Do not use I think, I believe, In my opinion, I feel).
- 3. Did I avoid vague words? (Do not use words like good,bad, okay etc).
- 5. Can my claim be supported with at least three reasons
- 6. Does it include the topic + my opinion about the topic?
- 7. Does it provide focus for the essay (All the paragraphs support the thesis). *Note- you can only evaluate this if you have an essay accompanying the claim.
- 8. Does it provide organization for the essay (The order the topics are presented in the claim are the order they are discussed in the body paragraphs). *Note-you can only evaluate this if you have an essay accompanying the claim.
