Topic Development: Two sample questions emerge from the two methods used:
Central Question(s)
In order to transform these questions into working thesis statements, start by simply shifting or reframing the verb from a point of question to a point of declaration!

It should be specific and precise. It should specify the variables upon which relationships are established.
