This reading was good for me since I struggle with writing the thesis statement myself. I like how it continually says to make the thesis debatable and that it should be clear and focused. The more broad your thesis is, the more evidence is required to support it. Therefore, narrow it down and it becomes easier to find your sources.

I remember the thesis statements that I used to write in high school. They would say something like, “In my paper I will write about blank, blank, and blank.” Now I feel our thesis must be more clear and focused. It will help the reader know what is coming and help them stay on track while reading.
