Concessive Review: Write a practice concessive thesis statement on any topic.
- Example: Even though Effi is one of the strangest Jedi in the galaxy, her use of the force makes Animas a safe and happy place.
Good thesis statements...
- ...make a debatable claim about the topic.
- ...do not state the obvious or something factual.
- ...are specific and focused.
- ...are clearly and eloquently stated.
- ...can be backed up by solid evidence.
- ...avoid the first person (NO: “I think…” “I believe”).
