• This chapter is about developing thesis sentence.
• Thesis sentence is the staring point.
• Thesis sentence needs to be as specific as possible.
• Thesis sentence needs to have a controlling idea.
• Thesis sentence could be made after or before the research.
• There are 2 aspects in defining thesis statement.
  • Advantages.
  • Challenges.
• What is the advantage of this research over other research.
• What is the challenged of this paper.
• If you define your thesis sentence early in the project, you could make your research to be more specific, which is good.
• Thesis statement is one for every research paper.
• Topic sentence is one for every paragraph.
• These sentences should be in full constructed sentence.
• So, what I need to create a lot of topic sentences.
• Please do not do these.
  • Make your topic sentence to broad.
  • Make your topic sentence to specific.
• Too broad topic sentence make it hard to organizing research data.
• Too specific topic sentence make it hard to develop the whole research paper.
• Each paragraph needs to have a main idea. Only one idea! And this is the topic sentence.
• However, usually it is the best idea to just put the topic sentence in the beginning of the paragraph.
