Here is an
approach to creating a thesis statement that will help you write your argumentative essay. The
steps involve finding a subject, a verb, and a focus. Here's more information about each of the
steps and how they all come together, with examples.

First of all, decide on
the subject of your argument. If you write your essay on either the first or the second
question, on both cases, you have two options: either yes or no. Decide which question you would
like to write about, and you will have your subject. For example, you might want to argue that
texting has a positive effect on academic writing, and that will become your subject.

Next, you will select an active and interesting verb as well as a focus to form the
basis of your argument. In the examples below, the verb is in italics and
the subject is in bold. Perhaps you believe that texting has a
positive effect on academic writing, revealing that texting
can increase a writer's confidence and make the writing process easier, or
proving that writing does not have to be formal to be done
well. (These examples have been invented, as the texts to which the questions you
refer are not available; make sure your subject works with the content the articles you have
been assigned and that you can find sufficient evidence to prove your case in your supporting
paragraphs.)

Hope that helps! Good luck.
