Answer 3

ex. from my text:

Broad Subject: Walt Disney World
Limited Topic: Epcot Theme Park
Main idea about this topic: Adventure
Thesis without three-step format: Epcot Theme Park is an adventure filled with journeys.

Three-step Format for thesis:
1. journeys to exotic lands
2. high-tech playthings
3. unbelievable spectacles

To form a thesis statement that contains the three-step format, simply combine the three basic ideas with the thesis statement. Here are thesis statements that could be used for a five-paragraph essay. Actually, you can present the thesis statement with a three-step format in different ways:
1. Epcot Theme Park is an adventure filled with jouneyes to exotic lands, high-tech playtings, and unbelievable spectacles.
2. Journeys to exotic lands, high-tech playthings, and unbelievable spectacles are some of the adventures that you will discover at Epcot Theme Park at Walt Disney World.

Answer 4

ok..i want to write about a place.
here are some that i thought of:
my room
Asheville, NC- family's fav vacation spot
park
..

Answer 5

Asheville sounds like a great place to describe.

Go for it -- and good luck!

I suggest you write as much as you can, then put it aside for a day or two. When you come back to it, you'll be able to read it with fresh eyes and ideas.

Finally, when you're near a final draft, please post it here, and we'll be glad to help you polish it.

Answer 6

I think writing about Asheville would be fantastic... It is an interesting, beautiful place with lots of possibilities of things to describe.

Answer 7

alright thanks

Answer 8

and one more thing..
since that is my narrow topic..what would be the broad topic. beacuse i have to list them both: the broad and the narrow

or if this is the broad, how could i narrow it down

thanks

Answer 9

Pick about three things you want to describe about Asheville. Then incorporate them into your thesis statement.

In other words, Asheville is your broad topic. The three aspects of it is your narrow topic.

Answer 10

um...i don't think that's how i'm supposed to do it.
asheville will be the broad topic
then i have to pick a narrower topic
then make a thesis , and then a three-step thesis. both about the more narrower topic..

i need help narrowing the topic

Answer 11

or..what if my broad topic is:
vacation spots

and i narrow it to:
Asheville, NC

is that ok?

Answer 12

I stand by my original idea. Asheville is your broad topic. The specific places constitutes your narrow topic.

Maybe something like this?

Asheville is a fabulous place for scenic hiking, shopping for locally made crafts, and delicious meals.

Answer 13

I agree totally with MsSue. Asheville is the broad topic. Then choose 3 things about the place that make it a super vacation spot. They would be your support.
