I need help. I have to write a thesis sentence…?

I am in a Honors and AP US History class and must write what the teacher calls a thesis and make a power point presentation.

Once part of the instructions say:

Write a 3 sentence paragraph introducing the topic. The last sentence should be your thesis sentence.

What is this? Can somone give me an Example? My topic is The Black Bean Lottery. It was when 17 soliders were killed and drew beans to decide.

Also at the end I have to restate the thesis. I have gotten my 3 main points and 10 important facts about each one but am stuck on what the “Thesis” actually is.

We have never done this before and the teacher gave us the assignment last Friday, gave us until Monday to get it done, and was only at school 1 day this week to help us so we are pretty much lost.

The thesis is a single sentence, and it must be a complete sentence, that describes the overall one main idea of your essay.
