Our "Thesis" for DOC2

Ok, I didn't get it quite right on monday's class about the thesis... Im just want to make a brief note.
I went back to the link from "College of Arts and Sciences, UNC".  The link that Prof. Hamon so kindly provided us at the beginning of this course. For Mr. Hamon must include a author and title in the thesis.   
Thesis: tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.

• A road map for the paper, telling the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper. 
• subject, topic, author, title and make a claim usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader.  

This link is my go-to site for such reminders. hope it helps you as well.
