Thesis

An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.


Example of an expository (explanatory) thesis statement:
 
The life of the typical college student is characterized by time spent studying, attending class, and socializing with peers.

The paper that follows should
  • explain how students spend their time studying, attending class, and socializing with peers
Note:

Your thesis statement should be specific—it should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.

The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper.

Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.

Please email me and yourself your thesis

1. Include your name and hour in the subject

2. Write the thesis directly in the body of your email - DO NOT ATTACH!
