  1. Testing a Working Thesis Once you have come up with a working thesis, you can use the following questions to evaluate it. • Does your thesis answer a question, propose a solution to a problem, or take a position in a debate? • Does the thesis require an essay’s worth of development? Or will you run out of points too quickly? • Is the thesis too obvious? If you cannot come up with interpretations that oppose your own, consider revising your thesis. • Can you support your thesis with the evidence available? • Can you explain why readers will want to read an essay with this thesis? Can you respond when a reader asks “So what?”
