Testing a working thesis statement
- Is the thesis too obvious? If you cannot come up with interpretations that oppose your own, consider revising your thesis.
- Can you support your thesis with the evidence available?
- Does the thesis require an essay’s worth of development? Or will you run out of points too quickly?
- Can you explain why readers will want to read an essay with this thesis?
