You can develop a thesis statement by answering three questions:
What is my topic?
What am I trying to say about that topic?
Why is this important to me or my reader?
Explanation:
The thesis statement is placed within the introduction of the essay. It is usually found at the end of the first paragraph, but if the essay is particularly long, the thesis may also appear in the second or third paragraph. If the "essay" is only one paragraph long, the thesis statement is usually in the first or second sentence.
