The following video offers a definition of thesis statements, and guidance for finding thesis statements as you read. Pay attention to the difference between explicit thesis statements and implicit (or implied ) thesis statements . (This video was made for a specific class, so it will make references to assignments that won’t apply to you. You can also stop watching at 6:00, since the video then proceeds to writing thesis statements, which is not our focus at the moment.)
