Language Arts Lesson - "How to Focus an Essay Topic"

Created by Dianne Mason
Grades 9-12

Using numerous examples, this lesson enables students to achieve the important goal of narrowing a broad subject into a more focused topic and lays the groundwork for a discussion of thesis statements. A Power Point Presentation of an extended example on insects guides students through the focusing process to arrive at a manageable topic. Included is a suggested activity so students can practice what they've learned.
