Characteristics of a Good Thesis Statement.

1. Contains stance, position

2. Supportable yet arguable (not something that everyone will agree with)

3. Contains some kind of reason

4. Something important is at stake

5. Simple, clear, concise, forceful

6. Specific

7. Not too broad, not too narrow (it won’t lead us to try to accomplish too much within the scope of the paper)

8. Not too factual
