During this online workshop two seasoned historians (Dr. Susan Goodier and Dr. Howard Ashford of SUNY Oneonta) will take you through the process of helping students develop a thesis statement using the evidence they uncover. Presenters will also discuss how to use that evidence to support the thesis. This session includes a slide deck for teachers to share with their students.
