Read the following paragraph. Finding the perfect thesis statement is like finding your perfect dance step. You pirouette and twirl around a compelling subject or question until your imagination whispers, "This is the one." An inner symmetry will help you achieve the balance of interpreting the significance of your subject without placing too much weight on the subject itself. The rhythm of your dance step will determine the parameters and limits of your thesis statement, so that you stay within the context you alone have shaped. Your dance will have clarity and specificity, and you will move across the stage with vitality and command, engaging your audience in your well–placed arguments. You will have created the perfect thesis statement that bends, flows, and leaps with relevance, power, and beauty. Learning how to compose an appropriate thesis statement is a key academic concept usually included in high school English classes. Rewrite the paragraph using more appropriate academic language. Be clear and precise so that other high school students can follow the steps you describe and write an effective thesis statement. Apply your knowledge of language arts and writing instruction to select words and phrases that are appropriate to this academic area and this concept.
