Basically, for a thesis statement, all you need to do is make sure that it explains the HOW or WHY of the claim it’s making. So, if the thesis makes a claim but doesn’t back it up with an example to justify the WHY or HOW, then it is weak. Please consider that advice to guide you as you complete the worksheet!
