key idea

A topic is the subject or principal focus of your writing. The scope of a topic is the range of ideas that the topic covers. A topic with a broader scope is more general and covers a wider range of ideas. A topic with a narrower scope is more specific and covers a more limited range of ideas.

Topic 1: plays written by William Shakespeare

Topic 2: Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a specific play written by William Shakespeare, so Topic 2 has a narrower scope.

Topics can be broad or narrow in scope, but narrow topics are generally easier to develop fully in your writing because they are more focused. Topics become narrower when you limit yourself to a particular aspect of the topic, such as a more specific time period, place, or group of people.
