Your Thesis Statement and Outline

Use this space to make a first attempt at writing your thesis statement and outlining your paper. Remember a good thesis statement is refutable and specific. It makes a new point about theory or examines how two ideas relate in a new way. It adapts or critiques someone elses argument. Above all, your thesis should be stunning!

Put your thesis statement and outline here:

THESIS STATEMENTS SHOULD BE

Specific

Talk about a specific idea rather than a broad theme. The more concrete the better. You don’t have to come up with a grand theory that explains the universe (even if you could).

Text-based

Your argument should arise from the text, your interview, or ethnographic research; it should not be an imposition of your own personal moral or ethical views. Don’t cast judgment on the social actors.

Unified

Be sure that you’re arguing one thing. Avoid bifurcated thesis statements.

Not too obvious

Your essay should point out something that isn’t immediately obvious to someone without a close examination of the texts or ethnographic data. Make sure that what you’re writing about demands that an essay be written about it.

Refutable

It should be possible to come up with a reasonable and valid counterargument to your thesis.

“You don’t write because you [have] to say something; you write because you have something to say.” (adapted fromF. Scott Fitzgerald)
