E10 Thesis Statement
Your Thesis Statement needs to be one sentence that mentions what all three coming sections will be about. Here's a sample:
Outline
Section 1 = Americans’ attitudes toward WWII
Section 2 = Axis winning before the U.S. got involved
Section 3 = Allies winning after the U.S. got involved
Thesis statement
Although at first many Americans saw no reason to get involved in World War 2, the Axis Powers would likely have won if the U.S. had not eventually joined the fight.
You can tell that the paper will talk about what Americans thought and how our involvement helped the Allies win the war.
Also, the paper isn't argumentative, but it also isn't just a history lesson. It's trying to make a point –– that the U.S.'s involvement was crucial to winning the war.
