Thesis StatementTHESIS WRITING TIPS1. Read the question three times. Do not move on until you fully understand it. Identify to
historical period being discussed (i.e. Reconstruction, the Revolutionary Era, Colonization). 2. Identify the task by circling the main words. (For example: assess the validity, compare and
contrast, evaluate relative importance, analyze the significance, etc.) 3. Ask yourself “what do I have to prove?” (e.g. Foreign policy is more important than domestic
policy….Reconstruction was a failure at achieving civil rights for African Americans…The New Deal overstepped the boundaries of government involvement in daily lives.).
4. Pay special attention to economic, political, social issues that need to be included. 5. Read and examine the documents. Make notes about the documents. Reread the question
again after reading the first three documents. 6. Construct a thesis that is well-developed and clear. Your thesis is your position on the key
question. It shows what arguments you will make in the essay and what you intend to prove. A good thesis statement makes the difference between a thoughtful essay and a simple retelling of facts. If the thesis is a mystery to the writer, it will be a mystery to the reader!

social changes that occurred during the 1800s in the United States due to the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution in the United States gave more Americans factories.
UUUGGGGLLLYYYDoes not answer the prompt
Many changes occurred in the 1800s in the economy and social structure in the United States.
BadAnswers the prompt but is not very
specific. Re-states the question.
Due to the Industrial Revolution in America, society began to shift since many average citizens began to migrate to major cities from the rural areas. Goods were produced much faster and easier. This allowed for cheaper products and a more advanced lifestyle. Politically the United States began to move toward becoming a world power.
