Ask yourself:
• State the thesis or claim you want to defend
• State why that thesis is important or interesting to you (i.e., why you’re
writing about this as opposed to something else)
• State your methodology (i.e., how you propose to defend it: what will you
use as evidence for your claims? How do you propose to establish your conclusion?)
