    The sub-claims are the main points,usually found at the beginning of each paragraph in what many students think of as the topic sentence position, that support your thesis statement. You might think of the sub-claims as mini claims which function similarly to the thesis statement, but on a smaller scale. Sub-claims must be debatable, should connect to and develop the main point of the paper, and preview what is to come in the following paragraph.

    Once you have developed your thesis statement, try to formulate your major sub-claims, preferably in sentence form. Your thesis statement and your subclaims will give you a rough outline of your essay.
