How to write a Thesis

The thesis is one of the High Global Concerns in your paper.
The most important line in the whole essay paper. It is the main idea to your paper.
Therefore, it is good to know an easy way to create your thesis. Below are some brainstorming ideas.
Hope this helps.

Now, where do you start? Sometimes professors use questions for you to answer in the essay. You can use that question and turn it into a thesis.

Let's say you have to write an analytical paper on Jamie Ford's book of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

Your professor asks whether or not it is easier for people to learn political and social issues from historical fiction?

 Well for starters, decide which side you are on. Whether you agree with this idea or not. Let's say you are in opposition to learning this way.

So tweak the words around a bit so that it can become a thesis...

Such as the following: Learning political and social issues through historical fiction instead of textbooks is not easier for people.

Or, You can use key words that the professor gives you in their prompt(instruction handout). Plug those keywords into a sentence that will formulate the concept of your paper.

What if your professor asks you to write about a problem that not only affects you and your community, but has the propensity to become a global issue?
The keywords are in bold.
Let's say that problem is...GM food that floods our supermarket. This issue affects you and your family, your community, the country and the world.

Let's take this idea and the ones in bold from your professors suggestions and form a sentence.

GM food is not only an issue that affects my family and community, but it is becoming a global concern as well.

THESIS!☺

I really hope this has been helpful. If you have any other ideas that work better for you please comment it. I'd like to learn other methods too!

Journal Response

In college courses, some professors issue students to read an extra text, sometimes a biography, historical fiction...etc.

So when they ask you to write a Journal response you may be like...What??

Trust me, from what I've seen, these journal responses will come to be very useful to you as a student.

I remember reading Sky of Red Poppies by Zoreh Ghahremani for English 205 Critical Thinking. It is an easy read, but I did the mistake of speeding through the book [I actually enjoyed it].
This isn't a problem if writing the journal is all up to you.

However, some professors will have already prepared a list of questions of the assigned readings. Professors like thoughtful responses! Please feel free to think about the questions and write what you think about it. Professors also appreciate questions, it means you are thinking.

Answering to Journal Questions will help you to develop critical thinking skills. Why the character was going through a certain conflict. Was it gender related or cultural reasons? How did this conflict change the main character...etc...

Near the end of the semester GUESS WHAT? We had to write a paper related to the historical conflict in the selected book.

I was able to be the first one to hand it in. YOU KNOW WHY?


Because all my journal responses were filled with ideas and notes, facts from the related text! Including useful comments from my professor.
JOURNAL RESPONSES ARE IMPORTANT.

The more effort you put into it, the better you become as a writer, and a thinker, developing research and critical thinking skills that you will need.

In other classes, such as my History and Literature classes, these journal writings have been a great help. I've used my journal responses as a study guide for my tests.

You guys may want to think about it seriously. It is worth the effort. I passed these writing classes with an A.
So I hope my tip helps you to become successful in your courses. Don't be enticed to take the shortcut. We all know how the race between the tortoise and the hare finished, right?
Wish you guys the best!
