Topics? Consider:
Is the topic historically important? Did the person change or influence
attitudes? Did he or she change society? Does the issue have both a positive and
negative side? How was it perceived by others?

Avoid Doing a Biography or a Narrative of Events!!
Think Context, Analysis and Selectivity

Create a Thesis Statement
A thesis is similar to a hypothesis. It is the foundation of your entire project.
The thesis needs to explain how the topic relates to this year’s theme - time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.
A .thesis draws conclusions about how the topic affected individuals, communities, nations or the world.

Choosing Groups and Formats in November
OK for a student to change topic if working in a group.
Look at research and decide on a format that fits.

decisions Make your own

When choosing a group consider: Is someone going on vacation you need
to know about? Moving? Can you get together on weekends or
breaks? Does your partner turn in quality work in
other classes?
