Adolescent Step #5NHD TITLES

REMEMBER THE FUNCTIONS OF A TITLE

A good title does several things. It …1. predicts content (subject matter.)2. catches the reader's interest.3. reflects the tone or slant of the piece of writing.4. contains keywords that will make it easy to access

by a computer search. This year words like leadership and/or legacy or words that mean the same thing.

Title writing is a process. It takes brainstorming and revising. Your title will not just appear in one magic moment. You have to work at it and get lots of peer feedback.

Dynamite Titles

Good Examples• Globalization of McDonalds:

American Corporations Leading the World’s Economy

• The World’s First Lady: Eleanor Roosevelt and the UN Declaration of Human Rights

• The Bloodless Revolution of 1800: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the Legacy of a Peaceful Transition of Power

• Confucianism: Leading the Way to a Chinese Civil Service

• Andrew Jackson: The Legacy of the People’s President

• Yoga Bonita: How Brazil Led a Soccer Revolution

Poor Examples • McDonald’s Globalization

• Eleanor Roosevelt and the UN

• Adams and Jefferson’s Bloodless Revolution

• Chinese Civil Service

• Andrew Jackson’s Legacy

• Brazil’s Soccer Revolution

Teen Step #6Develop a Thesis Statement

NHD projects should do more than just tell a story. Every exhibit, performance, documentary, paper and web site should make a point about its topic. To do this, you must develop your own argument of the historical impact of the person, event, pattern or idea you are studying. The point you make is called a thesis statement. A thesis statement is not the same as a topic. Your thesis statement explains what you believe to be the impact and significance of your topic in history.

TitleTitle

The World’s First Lady: Eleanor Roosevelt and the UN Declaration of Human Rights

Thesis Statement Thesis Statement

Eleanor Roosevelt’s skills as an activist, reformer, organizer, and advocate for universal human rights led to the adoption of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, a model and cornerstone for human rights movements.

Let’s take a look at a “Don’t” and “Do” example:

• Don’t: Television helped John F. Kennedy win the 1960 election.

• The problem with this thesis is that it is lacking specific information and there is no concrete evidence to support the claim.

• Do: Television was a new communication tool widely available during the 1960 presidential campaign. Senator John F. Kennedy’s innovative use of this mass medium, particularly in the televised presidential debates, helped secure him the presidency over Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Kennedy’s victory marked a new era of political campaigning and changed the way Americans understand and receive their political candidates.

• Also make sure to work the theme words into your thesis statement, judges love that…

Examples of Thesis StatementsUnacceptable:

Teddy Roosevelt was a famous President.

Acceptable:

President Theodore Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” resulted in conservation efforts like the National Reclamation Act of 1902 increasing large-scaled irrigation of dry farmland.

Unacceptable:

Labor unions played a major role in history.

Acceptable:

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (the Wagner Act), nicknamed the “Labor Bill of Rights,” greatly strengthened Labor Unions in the U.S. through the establishment of the National Labor Relations Board and the guarantee of workers the right to organize and bargain collectively.

Teen Step #7So how do I write my thesis paragraph?

You may want to follow this formula for writing your thesis paragraph . . .

1. 2 sentences are your Thesis statement. Remember topic + theme + impact/change = thesis statement

2. 4 arguments that support your thesis with evidence if needed.

3. 1 sentence that explains your topic’s legacy (how it changed the world you live in)

4. 1 sentence that has your conclusion—why you think your topic is important.

Thesis = Topic + Theme + Impact. • Your thesis does not just introduce

your topic. You are creating an argument that expresses your topic’s significance and demonstrates how the theme plays a central part in your topic’s impact.

A thesis Paragraph BUILDS on

topic + theme + impact/change = thesis paragraph

Legacy•5 Ws + How•Topic definitions

• An annotation normally should be about -3 sentences long. You might be tempted to create page-long annotations to impress people. Don't do it! Lengthy annotations are usually unnecessaryand inappropriate, and might be considered an eff ort to "pad" the bibliography.

• The Contest Rule Book states that the annotations "must explain how the source was used and how it helped you understand your topic." Do not recount what the source said.

So what’s an annotation?Duer, William. "William Duer to George Washington." The Papers of George

Washington Documents. 28 J an 1777. 6 Feb 2009

<http:/ /gwpapers.virginia.edu/documents/ revolution/ duer/ duer1.html>.

Washington relied William Duer of New York to gather intelligence. He

wrote to Washington about setting up a spy network af ter the Continental

army set up headquarters at Morristown, New J ersey, in early 1777. I

used this to support my thesis that Washington was a master spy and that

this helped us win the Revolutionary War.
