You should map out what you are going to write about in your body paragraphs (pre-writing, outline, four-square). Â What are the main points in each paragraph that could help you to form the statement? Â Once you have that, it should make writing the thesis statement a bit easier. Â If this is just a general overview, you could write something like, "Tchaikovsky's composition was shaped by many events that occurred early in life, during his adult life, and long after he passed away." Â Again, it would largely depend on what you want your reader to know about the paragraphs they are about to read.
