In your essay, you will need to help your readers understand the issue by
1. clearly stating your claim (https://human.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Composition/Introductory_Composition/Book%3A_You_Writing_A_Guide_to_College_Composition_(Glynn_Hallsten-Erickson_and_Swing)/05%3A_Writing_a_Thesis/5.05%3A_Tips_for_writing_a_thesis_statement

2. showing that you have considered various points of view by addressing at least one counterargument and/or concession with a rebuttal,
3. providing good reasons for your position, and
4. supporting your reasons with specific textual evidence from credible sources.
