Thesis Statements

Since we came back from winter break, our class has been working on personal essays - expository pieces that teach, explain, or persuade.

We have learned that the heart of any essay is the
thesis statement,
a sentence that sums up the central argument or idea of the writer.  Everything else in the essay directly supports the thesis statement.

Because they are so important, writers in our class have worked hard crafting strong theses that say exactly what we want to say.  Writers, in the comments please tell us your thesis statement!
