This worksheet encourages students to develop a thesis by asking questions about their topic. It walks them through the process of identifying a topic, formulating a question, and providing answers, which then leads to forming an opinion. The worksheet ends with a space for a working thesis statement. This structure helps students systematically approach thesis creation by breaking it down into manageable steps.

Engaging with this worksheet enhances students’ questioning skills and encourages deep reflection on their topic. By teaching them to ask purposeful questions, the worksheet strengthens their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
