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
![Page 11: National History Day National website](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812d6e550346895d9283a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Move beyond the who, what, where, when questions.
Ask why and how questions.

Context
Investigate events and people surrounding your topic.

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.

Do I work alone or with a group?
![Page 15: National History Day National website](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812d6e550346895d9283a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
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
schedule Saves time Fewer distractions
You are responsible for every part of the project.

ideas off of

When choosing a group consider:
