Working Thesis, Using the Four Models

Four Models of Working Thesis:

Misinterpretations Model

“Although many scholars have argued about A and B, a careful examination suggests C.”

Gap Model

“Although scholars have noted A and B, they have missed the importance of C.”

Modifications Model

“Although I agree with the A and B ideas of other writers, it is important to extend / refine /limit their ideas with C.”

Hypothesis-testing Model

“Some people explain A by suggesting B, but a close analysis of the problem reveals the possibility of several competing / complementary explanations such as C, D, and E.”
