What makes a good thesis?

• It is not too simple (can be answered quickly) or too complex (overwhelming).
  
• It answers the question (it does not have to be the only answer or a definitive answer).

• It has several components to it that can be used as subtopics or categories to explore.

• You have already located research that supports the thesis.

Now what?

• Identify at least three subtopics.

• Create & answer questions for your subtopics (minimum of 3 subtopics, keep it simple).

• Complete research documentation for all relevant sources. One primary source is required for each example. (Use NoodleBib so you will have material organized for your bibliography).

• List two examples for each subtopic that prove your subtopic point.

• Each subtopic example needs two comments that interpret the importance of that example.

• Bibliography includes at least six sources

• Look for visuals for your Power Point presentation.

• Conclusion includes at least one connection that goes beyond the material in your presentation
