Thesis Statement

To write your own short piece about a topic, first choose something you like a lot. It could be anything like TV shows, sports, music, food, or movies.

Here's how to do it:

1. Pick a broad topic you're interested in.

2. Make that topic smaller and more specific. If you start with sports, you might choose football. But that's still too big to talk about in just a short piece.

3. Get even more specific. Maybe you decide to write about how many football players get head injuries.

This is how you go from a big idea to a small, detailed topic you can write a few paragraphs about.
