What are the three key components of a strong thesis statement, according to the video?

The three key components are: mentioning the main topic, taking a position and stating your argument, and summarizing the evidence.

Why is it important for a thesis statement to be 'disputable'?

A disputable thesis statement presents a position that can be argued, encouraging the reader to engage with the paper and consider the evidence provided.

The video mentions different types of thesis statements depending on the aim of your paper. Name two types and briefly describe their purpose.

Two types are: Argumentative, which aims to persuade the reader of a claim, and Analytical, which maps out key points and introduces conclusions.

Explain the process of refining a thesis statement as you research your topic.

Initially, you create a tentative answer to your research question. As you gather more evidence, you develop and elaborate on your thesis statement to summarize your overall argument more effectively.
