Without trying too hard, writing a paper can become a jumbled pile of thoughts on paper. Your ideas are great, but how do you focus your topic? Asking questions that help you narrow your thought process is always a good idea. Here are a few examples: What is the issue or topic I’m discussing? Is there two sides? Are my ideas clear? Is there evidence for this topic?
A narrowed thesis should state the main question you’re considering on the subject. It should also introduce your reader to your ideas and sub-topics that will prove or argue both sides of the argument. If you’re struggling with writing your paper, ask yourself if you have a narrowed enough topic, or ask yourself if you have too narrow of a topic.
