Thesis Statements
A good thesis statement will have the following:
1) Position: It will come at the end of the introductory paragraph.
2) Purpose: It will state the primary purpose of the essay.
3) Format: It will give a brief overview of the major ideas the essay will present. Each idea in the thesis statement will represent one body paragraph, and the order in which the ideas will be presented.
4) Parallelism: The three items should all be expressed with the same grammatical consistency.
5) Bias: It should be written in neutral terms if possible.
Example: The subject is firewood. You will deal with oak, willow, and fur. The end result will be a recommendation about their relative efficiency as a heat source.
Thesis statement based on the information above:
This paper will discuss willow, fir, and oak firewoods to decide which is the best to burn for fuel.
(Note the order; it goes from worst to best)

1) Motivation is the subject. You will explain what it is by giving standard book meanings, explaining some differences between motivation and closely related words, and examining some closely associated ideas.
2) Give feedback to two classmates concerning their thesis.
