Forming and supporting a thesis (MLA)
MLA-3
Most research assignments ask you to
- form a thesis, or main idea
- support that thesis with well-organized evidence
- use sources in ways that will inform and support your thesis
A working thesis will help you focus your project but remain flexible as you draft and revise your thesis. Research is an ongoing process; your ideas and your working thesis will evolve as you learn more about your topic.
