EWRT1A-63: thesis statement handouts

The Longman Handbook covers information about thesis statements (see pages 25-34 and page 128 for a definition of "argument"), but if you want a copy of the things I've been putting on the document projector here they are:

• thesis statements: the basics (pdf)
  
• thesis statements: common problems (pdf)
• thesis statements: digging deeper (pdf)
