C. Presenting examples/ Before we formally start our discussion, you have to

instances of the new lesson decode the secret text from the phrase I am going to show
you.

THE Sea IS calm and I am on the Seashore TAking my

TimE enjoying the moment

Read the phrase together.

Okay who among you get the secret code from the
 phrase?

Anyone from the class?

Exactly, very good class!

D. Discussing new concepts Now that you have decoded the secret text. What do you
and practicing new skills. think is the connection of those words for today’s lesson?
#1
Yes, that’s right. Our topic for today is about stating thesis
statement of an academic text.

What is a thesis statement? Anyone class? Or who can give

me key words or concepts of a thesis statement?

Yes, that’s correct. And what kind of sentence is a thesis

statement?

A thesis statement expresses main idea. It is a statement that

summarizes your topic and declares your position on it.

It is the central idea of a multiple-paragraph composition. A

thesis statement tells the reader what the paper is about and
helps guide the writer and keep his arguments or ideas
focused.
Hence, a thesis paper is not a topic sentence. Why?

A topic sentence on the other hand is different from the

thesis statement. The thesis paper tells what the entire paper
is about. It is used to define the purpose of the paper, to
argue or to state a point. While the topic sentence shows
only what the paragraph is about. It is sometimes called the
focus sentence in the paragraph.

Did you get the difference of the two, class?

Now, there are two types of a thesis statement. The implicit

and explicit.

An implicit thesis statement indirectly states the information.

It is implied without being directly expressed.

Examples: She likes white shoes by saying, “She likes all

shoe colors but tan”.

There is a morality in his writings.

Next, we have is the explicit thesis statement.

Explicit statements are simple statements. It directly states

the information.
It clearly expressed, no room for confusion.

Examples: The daughter was sad, when her mother died.

 She is extravagant. She spent a lot of money
during her birthday.

One thing and easiest to remember is when we say Implicit,

starts with the letter ‘I’ stands for Implied or Indirect. While
Explicit starts with letter ‘E’ stands for Well-Explained or
Directly Stated.

E. Discussing new concepts Now that we have identified what is a thesis statement and
and practicing new skills the differences between implicit and explicit, let’s try to spot
#2. a good thesis statement.

I will show you a writing prompt with two thesis statement,

try to spot the good thesis statement.

1. Early on in life, people develop an admiration for

heroes. In an essay, discuss a person you admire
and why you chose this person.

Option A.
One person I admire is Babe Ruth, who played baseball
from 1914 until 1935.

Option B.
One person I admire is Babe Ruth, the greatest baseball
player of all time.

What do you think is the correct answer?

Very good, this statement addresses the prompt, and

presents opinion that can be argued.

Next, please read.

2. Discuss the social, political and economic effects of

World War II on the United States.

Option A
World War II was a costly war that had a major impact
on the economy of the United States

Option B
World War II not only affected the economy of the
United States, but also altered the role of the American
government and the American people forever.

What’s the answer?

This is correct because it addresses the social, economic and

political effects as stated in the prompt. Notice that the
words people (social) and government (political) were used
in this statement. This makes the sentence more original and
shows the reader that you know what “social” and
“political” refer to.
Next example.

3. Describe three physical features of Latin America

and their importance to the region.

Option A
The Andes Mountains, the Amazon River and Yucatan
Peninsula are the three most significant physical
features in Latin America.

Option B
Three physical features found in Latin America are the
Andes Mountains, the Amazon River and the Yucatan
Peninsula, which are all vital to the region.

What do you think is the answer?

For our next example.

4. In South-East Asia, globalization has played a big

role in the developing economies of the region.
Discuss the positive and negative effects of
globalization in one South-East Asian country.

Option A
Globalization in Philippines has offered solutions to
poverty for some and created more severe poverty
for others.

Option B
In Philippines, globalization has meant new jobs for
Philippines’s emerging middle class.

So, what is the answer?

And for the last one. Please read and answer.

5. Discuss the effect of climate and the vegetation on

Isabela. Be sure to discuss the factors contributing
to climate, and the impact human activity has on the
vegetation.

Option A
Human activity is altering the vegetation of Isabela
and causing desertification, which will have
devastating effects on the people of the region.

Option B
Even though the climate and vegetation of Isabela
varies as a result of latitude and human activity,
they are still the two most important factors in
determining the quality of life.

Actually, it’s option B.

 This statement gives an argument, and address all aspects of
the writing prompt (topic, effect, factors). Notice how you do
not have to go into detail, just give the reader a hint of what
you will write about.

Now that you already know to spot a good thesis statement,

here are few questions you need to answer when writing a
thesis statement.

 Did I address all parts of the prompt?

 Can I argue against this statement?
 Will I address all this in my essay?
 Is it grammatically correct?
F. Developing Mastery
(Lead to Formative GROUP ACTIVITY
Assessment 3)
Class you will have a short activity. I will group you in to
three (3). Read the following thesis statement and identify
each as weak or strong then explain why the thesis statement
is weak or strong. If you think it is weak, improve or revise
the statement so that they conform to the requirements of a
strong/good thesis statement.

1. Internet usage has a negative effect to people,

especially to children.

the things we should remember?
