Thesis statement is an engine of an essay that moves
the information down the paragraphs in very logical order. Any student daring
to write without the thesis statement will never have complete control over the
content of the essay. In other words, the flow of the essay will be erratic and
lack cohesiveness.
The pattern of thesis statement is mostly subjected
to the demand and the nature of the essay. However, in our case, we are writing
an essay that consist of 5 paragraphs and therefore, we will be designing a
thesis statement that has three keywords in it.
Now, let us look at some of the examples of the
thesis statement with three key words. The first one is derived from the 3 Golden
Rs shared by Current Education Minister of Bhutan.
2. An ideal student is characterized by three qualities:
responsibility, respect and resilience.
3. Responsibility,
respect and resilience are the three key factors that define an ideal
student.
The above three thesis statements have same keywords
but their pattern varies which hardly matters as long as you have three solid
keywords. Moreover, if you examine closely, the three keywords used should be either
adjective or noun.
The bottom
line is-you must ensure uniformity while you use the three keywords.
Now, let’s look at the formula for the thesis
statement.
2. Simple Webbing
After webbing, choose three suitable keywords and
your thesis statement should possibly look like this: Junk food is health
hazardous because it causes obesity,
cardiovascular disease and vitamin deficiencies.
In next session if possible, let us learn how to
use Four-square method to construct a thesis statement.
