Document Summary
It can often be an answer to a question. Examples of a thesis statement: ex: paleolithic peoples were not unintelligent, but capable of producing very highly skilled tools and weapons, this is an argumentative statement. I would have to identify at least two to three examples of tools and weapons created by paleolithic peoples, and i would have to prove that these tools could only be made with a high level of knowledge. Further explanation/clarification: for all the paper assignments in this class, you will need to frame your essay around a thesis/argument, to help you get started, answer the assigned questions. Your answer to one of those questions, if framed correctly, will be your thesis statement: word choice is very important to make sure you are writing an argumentative statement. For example, stating this essay will prove or this essay will argue sets the correct tone for the essay.
