A thesis statement is a central thought that holds your entire National History Day project together. In other words, you are not just introducing your topic, you are creating an argument that expresses your topic’s significance and demonstrates how the theme plays a central part (history.ky.gov). The thesis claims something significant about your topic that you will need to prove later on with your research.

Thesis = Topic + Theme + Impact

Working Thesis:Throughout the research process, your thesis statement will be in the form of a working thesis. At this stage, we call the thesis a working thesis because it will constantly evolve (Get it... Pokemon) and change. As you become more informed the knowledge you gain will most likely change your original opinion. Do not stress about finalizing your thesis statement early in the NHD process. Only a working thesis is necessary to conduct efficient research.
