Pitfalls of the Theme
Arguing multiple “turning points” within a topic
Good overview of an historical event, but no evidence before or after the topic to prove it was a turning point
Overuse of the phrase “turning point”. Use synonyms to get your point across
![Page 60: History Day Theme Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568161b2550346895dd17861/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
“A turning point is ultimately a construct of historical reflection, and a historical unit of analysis, rather than an event that reveals itself to the people living through it at the time.”
- Roger Launius, curator National Air and Space Museum
