Qualities of a good thesis statement
•Answers the research question•Indicates a position or belief•Predicts, controls, obligates•Is different from a topic sentence
![Page 3: Making a tentative outline Thesis statement Outline.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082505/56649cfe5503460f949cf153/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Does exposure to videogame violence have negative effects
on children?
![Page 4: Making a tentative outline Thesis statement Outline.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082505/56649cfe5503460f949cf153/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Despite misconceptions popularized by media, exposure to videogame
violence has no negative effects on the aggression of children.

Predicts, controls, obligates
•What does the TS predict?•What does it control?
▫Sets the boundaries of the paper▫Well-defined boundaries = clear, well-
defined terms

Example
•Children should not be exposed to violent TV shows because of its negative effects.
What terms need to be defined?

Revised TS
Children = 1 to 12 years old Negative effects = learning, social skillsViolence =Violent TV shows =
REVISE: Children aged 1 to 12 should not be exposed to violent cartoons because of their negative effects on learning and social skills.

Take noteThe need to justify our choices (usually in the introduction of the ARP)
Why should the focus be children aged 1 to 12 (UN definition = 0 to 18)?Sample justification:Research has shown that from 1 to 12 years of age, children’s brains are undergoing crucial developmental processes; anything “imprinted” on this stage will have lifelong effects (Commerce, 2011).

Different from a topic sentence
•In what way?•Children exposed to television, research
shows, have lower IQ points ten years later than those who were never exposed.
•TS: TV viewing has negative psychological effects on children.
