Today, we are going to discuss the thesis statement of an academic text. In this
lesson, you are expected to:

1. define thesis statement;

2. identify the various techniques in locating thesis statement; and,
3. formulate thesis statement of the texts.

 Presenting examples/Instances
of the new lesson Activity 3:
Directions: Tell if the thesis statement is analytical, expository, and argumentative.

1. An analysis of the college admission process reveals one challenge facing

counselors: accepting students with wrong extracurricular backgrounds.

2. The life of the typical college student is characterized by time spent studying,
attending class, and socializing with pers.

3. High school graduates should be required to take a year off to pursue community
service projects before entering college in order to increase their maturity and global
awareness.

What is thesis statement?

• It is a statement that summarizes your topic and declares your position on it.
• tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under
discussion.
• is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from
the rest of the paper.

Locating Explicit and Implicit Thesis Statements

• In academic writing, the thesis is often explicit: it is included as a sentence as part
of the text. It might be near the beginning of the work, but not always–some types of
academic writing leave the thesis until the conclusion. • Journalism and reporting
also rely on explicit thesis statements that appear very early in the piece–the first
paragraph or even the first sentence.
• Works of literature, on the other hand, usually do not contain a specific sentence
that sums up the core concept of the writing. However, readers WHAT IS IT 51
should finish the piece with a good understanding of what the work was trying to
convey. This is what’s called an implicit thesis statement: the primary point of the
reading is conveyed indirectly, in multiple locations throughout the work. (In literature,
this is also referred to as the theme of the work.)
• However, academic writing sometimes relies on implicit thesis statements, as well.

Four Questions to Ask When Formulating Thesis Statement

1. Where is your thesis statement?
2. Is your thesis statement specific?
3. Is your thesis statement too general?
4. Is your thesis statement clear?

Original thesis: Although the timber wolf is a timid and gentle animal, it is being
systematically exterminated. [if it's so timid and gentle -- why is it being
exterminated?]
Revised thesis: Although the timber wolf is actually a timid and gentle animal, it is
being systematically exterminated because people wrongfully believe it to be a fierce
and cold-blooded killer.
Original: "is, are, was, to be" or "to do, to make"
Revised: any great action verb you can concoct: "to generate," "to demolish," "to

2
 batter," "to revolt," "to discover," "to flip," "to signify," "to endure..."
Ask: Based on what we have discussed, can you use various techniques in
summarizing a variety of academic texts?
