Be a Master of Attention-Grabbing Titles

The purpose of writing a thesis statement is to capture the central idea of your speech in a short, specific sentence.

The five guiding principles recommended by Steven Beebe and Susan Beebe for writing a thesis statement are that it should be a declarative statement, a complete sentence, use specific language not vague generalities, be a single idea, and reflect consideration of the audience.

It is important to consider the audience when writing a thesis statement because it can help ensure that the statement is relevant, engaging, and persuasive to the audience.
