Strategies for Stating and Planning a Thesis- Ch.20

In the process of writing an position essay (Taking A Stand), structure is key. To begin, Stating + Planning a Thesis- I wrote several instead of just one or two. As the book stated, I did this to shape my topic for my purpose + audience.

After writing around 10 or so potential thesis statements, I narrowed it down to the two I liked the best. These were: Living wage v. Market value wage and Standard Federal Wage v. Power to the States to regulate. Of these two selections, I selected the former.

I began to write a couple possible ways to word my thesis. I then wrote it, after so I used it (just as the book suggested) to help organize my essay.

Chapter 20 does a great job in laying the framework on ‘thesis writing.
