National History Day: Creating a Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is a concise statement that summarizes the main point or argument of an essay, research paper, or any other academic writing. It usually appears at the end of the introduction paragraph and provides the reader with a clear understanding of what the writer is trying to argue or prove in their paper. A well-written thesis statement should be specific, debatable, and supported by evidence throughout the paper. It serves as a roadmap for the rest of the paper and helps to keep the writer on track as they develop their arguments and ideas.
