Which is the thesis statement of the introductory paragraph?
How can Alton Middle School's drama students be expected to
strengthen their skills if the school board won't provide a stage where
they can perform? In the past four years, the school auditorium has
begun to fall apart, yet our drama class enrollments have steadily
increased. Currently, the theater classes are filled to capacity and there
is a waiting list of students waiting to take them. Having even a dozen

the Alton Middle School auditorium, giving theater students a safe
place to perform and the community a great place to enjoy these
performances.
