Chapter 11- Developing Your Thesis Statement

Chapter 11 is all about developing your thesis statement. You can use your sources and position statement by reviewing your position statement, reviewing your notes by identifying important information, ideas, and arguments, consider your purpose and role, and reflecting on your readers. To draft your thesis you must identify important information, ideas, and arguments associated with your position, draft alternative thesis statements, considering the type of document you plan to write, and focusing on your thesis statement rather than making it too broad.
