ENG 111 - Famous Trials: 5. Narrow Your Topic

A guide to Essay 1: Analyzing a Topic: Famous Trials

Narrow Your Topic

Once you've done some initial background reading about your trial, it's time to narrow down your trial to what you really want to write about.
Remember for this assignment, you must analyze the verdict and form an opinion on whether you think the verdict was just or unjust.
Ask yourself:

What was the verdict?
Do I agree with the verdict?
Was the verdict just or unjust?

As you start to narrow the verdict (and your opinion) down into a thesis, you'll want to continue to look for more sources. As you read, you might tweak or change your opinion about the verdict.
