After gathering plenty of resources, from your research question you will work towards developing a good thesis. After viewing many different types of documents critically while writing notes on them, it may become clear what your position is on your chosen topic.
A thesis statement should state clearly what the topic is and your opinion or stance on it. A writer must review their notes, develop a clear purpose and make note of any changes from the original research question. By doing this it will allow you to revise your position statement. Most importantly, take in to consideration who your readers are and what do you need to do in your writing piece to either change their view or enlighten them.
Look for key phrases and words in your notes and in your research question that can help you develop your thesis statement. Decide what kind of statement you need to make. Is it one of informing, position, persuasion or taking action on your topic? Draft up different approaches until it feels right.
Make sure it is narrowed, pointed and focused. You can start our broad and tailor it down to meet the needs of your topic.
In my opinion, thesis statements are the heart of your paper. Everything after it holds it up. Without one your paper will have no structure, clarification or weight. It is so important that it is easily identifiable and that a lot of effort has been put into it to get it just right.
