For this assignment, it is basically comparing the positive and negative effect of using technology to study individually. Just pick a side and stick to that topic. Here is two example thesis statement for both sides.
Pro: many students have difficulty learning at the same pace as their peers, technology gives them the opportunity to be able to study at their own pace from their home and it also motivates students to broaden their knowledge on worldly matters in which they do not receive in a typical school setting.
Cons: When studying for a test or simply doing homework, technology is not the best choice. Students need the physical interaction between them and the teachers or other peers as it will help them to be able to produce critical thinking on any matter, communicate, collaborate with others, and be creative;the 4 C's that are not always produced successfully when using technology as a source of studying.
These are just examples. You can use any type of examples but, you don't want to make it too broad. Also, when making key points for your thesis or when making a thesis, always be direct. Never use 'I think', 'I believe', etc. as it makes it seem as if you are not sure of your points. If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. I did a similar essay to this when I was in high school except, it asked what are the pros and cons of using technology as a source of learning.
A gerund looks like a verb but functions the same way as a noun. But, why does it look like verbs? What does it have in a sentence that a verb does? OBJECT is your answer. They both have objects. For instance, in the sentence, "I dropped my coffee mug" The gerund is "dropped" and it dropped an object (mug). Therefore, your answer is Object.
Let me know if you need anything else.
