FEATURES OF A STRONG THESIS

A strong thesis RESPONDS to the question; it doesn’t simply restate it.

A strong thesis offers a DEBATABLE response, not a statement of simple
fact.

A strong thesis not only makes a debatable claim but explains the
REASONING behind it.

A strong thesis is SPECIFIC enough that readers understand precisely
what argument they’re being asked to consider.

A strong thesis LOGICALLY CONNECTS all of its key ideas

Finally, a strong thesis is FRESH, ORIGINAL, and THOUGHT-PROVOKING.
