How do you to extract a thesis statement from a topic?

When writing, a thesis statement is necessary to sum up the purpose of what the following paragraphs will be about. Usually when needing to write a thesis statement, I have difficulties constructing this lone sentence. Trying to fit the entire basis of a paper in one sentence can be frustrating and challenging. Over the summer, I had to write a 25 page paper for a management class. Summing up 25 pages was daunting. Luckily, the professor gave guidance on what the topic and specific research would be over. This made the statement much easier to jot down. Unfortunately, the information needed to start a paper is not always achieved with such ease. Discerning the topic is the first step; next deciding on a question to answer within this topic. Answering this question with a standard model can make the process much simpler. If difficulty arises when writing the statement, try using this standardization, “Although________________________ is_____________________, because_________________________________.” This can be a literal grade saver! Many times going through grade and high school, I have had teachers review and critique my thesis statements, rarely with pleasant comments. Having this standard form for writing a thesis statement could have prevented multiple headaches.
