  • 3. White waiting to meet with Mr. Parise and/or after meeting with Mr. Parise, work on NHD Assignment #6 - Thesis and Topic Summary and Bibliography Citations.
2. Writing your project's thesis:

    • Clearly state the MAIN POINT of your project in relation to the theme.
    • Identify who your leader is, their major work or accomplishment and when it was accomplished, and the legacy they left.
    • By reading your thesis, the viewer of your project should understand what your project is going to prove, and how it relates to the theme "Leadership and Legacy."
    • An example:
      • As the leader of the movement for Indian independence from Britain in the early 1900s, Ghandi was not only essential to the creation of a free and democratic India, now the most populous democracy in the world, but also served as an inspiration for movements for civil rights and freedom throughout the world.
    • Let's play the NHD "What's Your Point?" Thesis Game

3. Writing your Topic Summary
  • The topic summary should tell "the story" of your topic.
  • The summary should include specific historical facts and details about your topic.

    • A paragraph that describes the leadership of your person/group.
    • A paragraph that describes the legacy of your person/group.
    • A conclusion that describes the overall significance of your person/group in the history of the United States.
