• Step 3:To begin writing, develop a working thesis, or opinion on the topic.
Where do you lean the most on the topic? Why? Keep in mind what other people think and have written
on this topic, particularly using the readings and research done so far in this module.
Your thesis should be strongly worded and debatable. The more opinionated your thesis the more
interesting and insightful; however, be careful not to be over emotional. It should be in a reasonable and
respectful tone.
