The thing I like about the concession-thesis-reason topic sentence model is that it’s 
compact. It forces the writer to condense his counterargument, thesis, and reasons into a simple, streamlined idea that is easily grasped by the reader. Today’s lesson was focused on learning that model, but if you were unable to be here, fear not – just click on the Thesis Statements Review link to get your own copy.
Remember, you need to write a thesis sentence for every topic in the last slide of the presentation, and each sentence needs to follow the model of concession–thesis–reasons.
