SELECTION OF TOPIC
LIMITING OF TOPIC
FORMAT FOR THESIS
Selection Of Topic
Be passionate:-
Never choose a subject which you feel indifferent
about it
Define Your Purpose:-
Think about the purpose of essay you must write. Is
your purpose to persuade people to believe as you do,
to explain to people how to complete a particular
task, to educate people about some person, place,
thing or idea, or something else entirely? Whatever
topic you choose must fit that purpose.
Continue:
• Brainstorm Subjects of Interest:-
Once you have determined the purpose of
your essay, write down subjects that interest you.
Evaluate Each Potential Topic:-
If you can think of at least a few topics that would be
appropriate, you must simply consider each one individually.
Think about how you feel about that topic. If you must educate,
be sure it is a subject about which you are particularly well-
informed.Of course, the most important factor in choosing a
topic is the number of ideas you have about that topic.
Never choose a worn out topic:-
It is no doubt tempting to choose something ready-made instead
of going deep into the preparation stage. The time spent
preparing for the writing process makes up half of its final
success. Continue:
The resources for your topic are readily
available.
 Choose a topic which you can present
quantitatively and are based on facts.
Limiting Of Topic
 There are three steps in limiting your topic:
Look for connections among the ideas you have
recorded.
Let some ideas go for now.
Find a phrase that shows the connection among the
ones you keep.

following:

related). Pick one and stick with it.

complete thought

thesis)
