Thesis Statement

To start writing your own expository paragraph, first pick a broad topic that you find interesting. This could be anything from current culture like TV, sports, music, food, or movies. Once you've chosen a broad topic, start to narrow it down to something more specific that you can write a paragraph about. For instance, if you choose sports, you might focus on professional football. But that's still quite broad, so you'd need to narrow it down even more. You could end up with a topic like the high number of head injuries in the NFL. This shows how you go from a big general topic to a more specific one that's good for writing about.
