A thesis statement makes a claim or proposition that reflects a specific point of view. The thesis statement should recognize both sides of a question, yet focus on two to three specific points (discussion points) sometimes called points of analyses. A thesis statement is the roadmap for the written response. The placement of the thesis statement is generally located in the introduction and summarized in the conclusion of a writing sample.  \nThe general argument made by   in his/her work   is that   because    \nAlthough   (believes, demonstrates, argues) that    ,   supports/provides the clearest evidence    \nA key factor in both   can be attributed to    .  \nWhen comparing the two positions in this article,   provides the clearest evidence that    \nLooking at the arguments regarding   , it is clear that   .  \nIn discussion of   , one controversial issue has been    believes that  \n   On the other hand,    \nasserts that   is clearly the best supported argument on the issue of  \n.  \nHow Do You Know?– Frames for Incorporating Evidence  \nIn the article, “  ,”   maintains that   .  \n ’s point is that    \n ’s claim rests upon the questionable assumption that    \nOne reason that   maintains the position of   is that    \nAccording to the text/article/passage/report,    \nAn example of   , is    \n  This proves/supports that    \nThe author states that    \nIn addition, the author/article/research supports that     This proves that    \nExamples/data supporting   , include    \nExplain the Evidence  \nTeach students how to identify evidence through direct quotes, paraphrase the information, and explain how the evidence supports the claim/thesis.  \n\n| Claim | Using a Direct Quote\u003Cbr>(What direct quote supports the claim?) | Paraphrasing\u003Cbr>(How can you rewrite the direct quote in your own words?) | Explanation\u003Cbr>(How does the evidence support the claim?) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n\nSentence Structures: Helping Students Discuss, Read, and Write About Texts  \nStudents at all lev","cbCaiceP7iVM8iGY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiceP7iVM8iGY","pdf",362691,14,"English","# Close Reading Questions\n# Both Sides Now\n# Prewriting Organizer: Toulmin Model for Argumentation\n## Constructed Response Organizer\n# Sample Thesis/Claim Frames\n# How Do You Know? - Frames for Incorporating Evidence\n# Explain the Evidence\n# Sentence Structures: Helping Students Discuss, Read, and Write About Texts\n## Sentence Starters and Sentence Frames","[{\"question\":\"How can students use close reading questions to understand an argumentative text?\",\"answer\":\"Students can identify the author’s argument and position, then locate a supporting point and the evidence behind it.
