    Assistant Professor
    Dr. Ala’a Ismael Challob
     The thesis statement:
     Why do you need to have a thesis
    statement?
     Parts of thesis statement:
     Examples of thesis statement:
     A thesis statement is the main idea of your paper, the single
    all-encompassing assertion that you want the readers to accept
    after reading your paper. The thesis statement is the essence of
    a paper, and everything else in the paper is aimed at
    supporting it. Thus, everything in the paper would exist to
    help, explain, or support the thesis, because the thesis is the
    center, the focus of the entire paper.

     It may be the most important sentence in a paper and It


    normally appears in the introduction part of the paper.

     Thesis statement doesn’t always appear in the final paper in


    such neat, formulaic model.
     For each paper with a thesis statement, there should be:

     1. The introduction would define the thesis and interest


    readers in learning about it.

     2. Including a background section would give the readers


    some information about the topic, the body of the paper
    would cover something about the topic.

     3. The conclusion would summarize the key points of the


    paper, reinforcing the thesis and finishing it in such a way
    that the readers would feel that the paper is finished.
    Having a thesis statement helps both the writer and
    reader.
     For the writer, the thesis statement helps to organize
    and develop the ideas of the paper.

     For the reader, the thesis provides a guide or map to


    the paper.
     All
    thesis statement, then, should have a subject
    and an assertion.

    A good thesis statement, has a narrowed subject


    and a precise assertion.
     The decision of the Texan to defend the Alamo
    rather than abandon it was foolhardy.

     The parochialism of the early modern Olympics


    caused international bitterness.
    Subject Assertion
    The decision of the Texans ( was ) foolhardy
    to defend the Alamo rather
    than abandon.

    .‫ان القزار الذي اتخذوه في تكسان للدفاع عن االمى بدل تزكه هى متهىر و طائش‬
    Thesis statements don’t always appear in the final paper in such a neat,
    formulaic model. Then above example might be read like this in the final paper:

    The Texans at the Alamo were a collection of free-spirited frontiersmen more used
    to fighting bears and tumbleweed than combating the organized army approaching
    them. And this free spirit – this foolhardiness – was the real and regrettable basis
    for their tragic decision to defend the Alamo rather than to retreat.
    Still, this thesis ( as we’ve seen ) and all thesis statements can reworded to fit
    the formula of “ subject” ( is , was, should be, etc.) assertion.

    Here’s how we could reword the sample thesis on the Olympics to fit the
    formulaic model :

    Subject Assertion

    The parochialism the cause of


    of the early was
    international
    modern Olympics bitterness

    ‫ان السبة وراء النقد الدولي العنيف هو الفكر الضيق في أجراء العاب اولمبيت مبكرة‬

     Broad Topic: Online courses.
     Narrowed Topic: The effectiveness of online courses.
     Issue: The quality of online instruction versus traditional
    face to face instruction.
     Research Question: Which type of course delivery is more
    effective—online or traditional?
     Hypothesis: Traditional face to face courses are more
    effective than online courses.
     Thesis: Traditional courses are more effective than online
    courses because face to face communication is more
    efficient and because students are more likely to be engaged
    in the learning process in a face to face learning community.
     Tentative Thesis Statement : means the first draft of the TS
    which is liable to be changed or modified with the pass of the
    various stages of the writing process of our paper.
     Workable Thesis Statement: The final version of the TS.
