In what words would you start a thesis statement for a research paper.

For these, we recommend using one of the following sentence starters to write your thesis with:

- In this essay, I will

- [Subject] is interesting/relevant/my favorite because

- Through my research, I learned that

You probably should aim for a single sentence that is at least two lines, or about 30 to 40 words long. Position: A thesis statement always belongs at the beginning of an essay. This is because it is a sentence that tells the reader what the writer is going to discuss.
