Chapter 11 is about developing your theses statement. The thesis is the basis of your paper and will ultimately decide what and how your paper will be drawn out. In order to create a meaningful and balanced thesis, you first want to understand and review your topic. Think about your position and ask yourself if you really believe what you are writing about. You want the paper to be attainable to you so that you won't bore your intended readers.
Evaluating your notes will help you reflect on your subject a little more. The book mentions to ask yourself if your notes are valuable and how well it "conveys" your position. You also want to create logical and creative reasons that you could potentially write about in your body paragraphs.
The book also talks about drafting your thesis. You can do this by understanding what type of paper you want to write about and thinking about possible alternate positions. You want your thesis statement to be narrow and focused. It is important that it is not too broad of a concept so that you can have definite points and can focus directly on your specific subject.
