Thesis Statement should be placed at the beginning of the essay and it should be clearly defined, focused and supportive.  There are 3 steps to formulate on working thesis statement; misinterpretation model, gap model and modification model. what it means by that misinterpretation model is correcting, gap model is making a claim of value and modification model  is what others have said. All three models will help us to create a better and stronger thesis statement. Context in the essay is important too because this is the writer's claim so the readers can know what the writers up to. In conclusion, we should recap the thesis statement in the first sentence of the last paragraph to tell the readers that we gonna end this essay soon and remind our main points again to the readers.

"A working thesis is valuable in the early stages of writing because it helps you read selectively, in the same way that your issue- based question guides your inquiry"(100).

it is saying that we should have our thesis statement first so that we can lead to other open perspective later for the paper.

"A variation on the gap model also occurs when a writer suggests that although something might appear to be the case, a closer looks reveals something different" (102)

for example, although thesis statement is like you also have negative effect, but you still need think other option is more likely agree with that.
