All of them. Briefly:
- What is the topic? — You must know the precise subject before you state a thesis.
- Is my thesis statement implicit or explicit? — Decide whether to state your claim directly (explicit) or imply it; most academic writing favors an explicit thesis.
- Will my readers agree with me? — Consider your audience so you can shape the claim, anticipate objections, and provide appropriate support.
- Are the supporting ideas relevant to the thesis? — While this tests the body of the essay, you should check relevance as you develop the thesis to ensure it’s supportable and focused.
