In a high school research paper, should the thesis statement be the last sentence in the introduction?

This is for a history paper at school. Some people say that it does not have to be the last sentence and that you can present the content of your paper following the thesis. However, at school we were taught that the thesis statement is the last 1 or 2 sentences in the introduction.

In a high school research paper, should the thesis statement be the last sentence in the introduction?
Having it at the end makes the most logical sense. You don't want to jump right in and say it in the first sentence, and it has to be in the introduction. It states the main idea and leads into the next part of the paper, so it should probably go at the end.
Reply:That's the way I remember the guidelines in high school.
Reply:Technically, no. It does not HAVE to be the last sentence of your introduction. The NORMAL (yet not concrete) formula is usually as follows:





Story/quote --%26gt; connector --%26gt;Thesis --%26gt;First paragraph





It's only logical and sensable to have it at the end.
