Agenda for 1/9

1. Goals for class today:

• 1. Finish NHD Assignments 4 and 5
• 2. Once those are complete, meet with Mr. Parise to receive credit for those assignments.
• 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:

• Your thesis should: 
• 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! 
• The thesis statement should answer the question: In what ways did your person or group demonstrate effective leadership, and what was the legacy (lasting impact) left by that leadership. 
  

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.
• Your one page topic summary should include (4 total paragraphs):
• A short intro paragraph about your topic that includes your project thesis.
• 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.
