do only the thesis make it sound like smth i would make. Your thesis statement is the controlling idea for the entire essay. In an argument essay, the thesis statement makes a claim that you will support in the rest of your essay. The thesis statement also sets up the organizational structure of your essay. To write a clear and effective thesis statement, follow these guidelines: Identify your topic. State your position (your claim). Choose whether to list your main reasons and/or the opposing claim (counterclaim) in your thesis statement. (This is not required; avoid an overly long thesis statement.) In a short (450+ word) essay, your thesis statement should be one sentence. Consider using a semicolon to join two related sentences. Avoid “I think” and “I believe,” as “I” statements weaken your argument. Method 1: State your claim and reasons. (my claim + reasons) High school students should not be required to complete volunteer community service as a condition of graduation; such requirements put an unfair burden on students, and school officials don’t have the right to tell students how to spend their free time. Because volunteer requirements put an unfair burden on students and school officials don’t have the right to tell students how to spend their free time, high school students should not be required to complete volunteer community service as a condition of graduation. Method 2: State the opposing claim, your claim, and your reasons. (opposing claim + my claim + my reasons) Although some say volunteer requirements teach students to care about their community, high schools should not require students to do volunteer work because this puts an unfair burden on students, and schools can’t tell students how to spend their free time. Method 3: State the opposing claim, then make your claim subtly using your reasons. (opposing claim + my claim) While requiring students to complete volunteer hours before graduating may help the community, such requirements put an unfair burden on students, and schools don’t have the right to tell students how to spend their free time.

High school students should not be mandated to complete volunteer community service as a graduation requirement; such obligations impose an unfair burden on students and infringe upon their autonomy in choosing how to utilize their free time.
