What is a good thesis?
• Is: Direct (specific), argumentative, and provides
an answer to the prompt!
o Must be historically defensible (needs evidence to support it).
• Example:
o Despite many arguing that working in the textile factories was hazardous
to the overall health of English families (counter argument), in actuality,
work in the factories was no more hazardous than other occupations of
the time (evidence 1) and provided the additional benefits of economic
advancement and educational opportunities for its workers (evidence 2)
thus on the whole, work in the factories was highly beneficial for the
average English working family (argument).
