Answer:

Answer the question in your prompt with your supporting details.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the teacher's prompt is , "Do you agree TikTok is a good app?" Lets say your three main points are it is a good way to connect with friends, stress-relieving, and a good platform for all people. These three focal points (each individually) would be each a topic for your body paragraphs. Your thesis would be:

I agree TikTok is a good app because it is a good way to connect with friends, stress-relieving, and a good platform for all people.

It's that simple!

I suggest making an outline if you haven't already it helps t know your body paragraph topics.

Answer:

The thesis is the roadmap of your essay, so focus on succinctly but thoroughly defining the stance and purpose of your essay. Make sure you incorporate your main points/contentions without making it too obvious. Start with the question/problem, state your stance, and then very very briefly state your main reasons. Make sure this is all in one sentence and is the last sentence of your introductory paragraph.
