How to get a good thesis in less than 10 minutes

Answer these questions:

What is your overall topic? (Take 3 minutes to answer)
(i.e. Clothing)

What is one interesting part relating to your topic? (Take 2 minutes)
(i.e. Workplace Clothing)

What is one issue, barrier, rule that affects (threatens/promotes) that part or issue? (Take 2 minutes)
(i.e.College Students do not wear appropriate workplace clothing)

What should be done in this scenario?
I believe/think/suggest that....(Take 1 minute)
(i.e Proper business attire should be a topic discussed in Business classes)

**This is good thesis BUT it is not a great thesis!
Once you work your good thesis(revising which takes a lot more than 10 minutes) make sure it is clear and takes a definite position AND THEN it will become a GREAT THESIS!

It is so great that you thought of this because as you know people in the class had problems coming up with a thesis. And you not only gave them a map of how to come up with one, you also showed them how to come up with a great one. Hats off to YOU!!!!
