You list the store you plan to go to (the topic) and the list of the things you plan to get there (the points you plan to cover). It might look something like this: “I’m going to the grocery store to get eggs, bread, and milk.”

A thesis statement is like a short shopping list. You list the store you plan to go to (the topic) and the list of the things you plan to get there (the points you plan to cover). It
might look something like this: “I’m going to the grocery store to get eggs,
bread, and milk.” You want to list your items in the order you plan to buy them
so getting around the store is easy. Write out your thesis as a short shopping
list which includes the topic you’re writing about and the 3 points you plan to
cover.
