Glad2Teach: Thesis statement

Just a suggestion, remember that this statement should be the last one in the first paragraph.

An interesting subject + the special part to emphasize = thesis statement

Example:
Gary Paulsen's Hatchet + used believable characters, dramatic setting, timeless theme =

In Hatchet, author Gary Paulsen, effectively uses believable characters, a dramatic setting and a timeless theme to draw in the reader.

I would then go on to prove all those things in my book response.
