The most common way to fail a subject or get low marks, is to fail to answer the question you have been asked. This applies at school and at college. It is vital that you keep the question in mind thr... oughout your research and writing. Your thesis statement will provide a succinct version of your answer, but since you don’t, at the start, know what your answer will be, you can’t write your thesis statement at the beginning. Begin writing your paper, essay or dissertation with the argument portion, and leave the introduction, which contains the thesis statement, until the end. Read the question and be sure you understand it. If you don’t understand the question see if you can get further clarification from your teacher, lecturer or tutor. Research the material thoroughly. Form a point of view Create an outline select 3-5 points good points (or more) which support your view explain each point and say why it supports your view say why some people disagree and what their view is say why you are not convinced by their argument Consider the major argument(s) against your point of view. Did you mention it in the points above? If not, write what that view (or views, if several) is and why you believe it to be wrong. As you write be prepared for your view to change. Once your argument is complete, you can construct your thesis statement for inclusion in your introduction. But suppose there is no obvious question? Sometime it is difficult to see a question in the assignment you have been given. You might, for example, be asked to pick an example of something and evaluate it. In that case there is a question, you have to decide if the object or process you are evaluating is good or bad, or how to compares to its competition. First you need to formulate the question, and then the thesis statement follows from that.
