Formulate a Working Thesis Statement
In an academic paper, a thesis statement is a declarative sentence that expands your topic into a scholarly proposal, one that you will:
- prove;
- defend; or
- expand on in your paper.
As you work through the steps of writing your academic paper, you will refine your thesis statement based on the information you learn through your research.
