Thesis statement is define as the controlling idea that you will develop in your paper.
This can be found usually at the end of an introduction. A thesis statement can be one
sentence. However, if necessary, it can also be two or three sentences.
There are three Elements of a Thesis Statement
1. Topic. The topic of your paper.
2. Argument/Claim. This depends on the type of paper you are writing. If it is an
argumentative paper, then this should express your opinion. If it is a research
or explanatory paper, this should explain the purpose of your paper.
3. Evidence. The support for your argument/claim.
If you already have these three elements, you can combine them to create your thesis
statement.
An outline is a design to follow when writing a structure, a discourse, or a article.
