Working Thesis Statements

Review warm-up: What is a thesis statement and where does it belong in your paper?

Going from arguments to thesis statements:

Argument: Uniforms are bad for student diversity.

Who, what, where, when, why, how?

Working thesis statement: Mandated school uniforms in public schools threaten individuals’ right to the freedom of speech and expression by requiring all students to look the same.

statement This statement can go anywhere in your introduction
