The eleventh chapter of The Bedford Researcher, which is titled Developing Your Thesis Statement, is split into two sections. The first section talks about how to use your sources and position statement. They have the reader go over their position statement and any notes they have. They then have the reader consider those while also looking at what the purpose of the document is supposed to be, and what role you are using as a writer, such as informing of or solving a problem. Finally, they have the reader reflect on their readers and what they would want from this document.
The second section of this chapter talks about drafting your thesis statement. This section begins with having the reader identify what the important information, ideas, and arguments associated with your position are. They then have the reader draft some ideas for what the thesis will be, and have them consider what kind of document they are writing. Finally, they have the reader focus in on just one statement, and refine it to be a thesis statement for their paper.
