To refine and polish a thesis statement, ask if your thesis addresses the assignment, question your thesis, and clarify. The thesis statement should be clarified many times before being presented.



A thesis statement is the main claim of your essay. This is the sentence that is meant to indicate the purpose of the essay. After your thesis statement is ready, the rest of the essay needs to provide arguments that support it.

In order to refine and polish your thesis statement, you need to ask questions such as:

  • Is my thesis statement narrow enough?
  • Is my thesis statement broad enough?
  • Is my thesis statement free of bias?
  • Is my thesis statement clear?
  • Can the reader fully understand what the purpose of my essay is?
