It is such a challenge to break down writing a thesis enough to teach it. This resource takes that challenge away from me and allows me to specifically target remediation with specific students. I love this resource!

Can not speak highly enough about this bundle of lessons and activities. The combination of information, scaffolding, and repeated practice has been very helpful for my new students. I will continue using these resources to introduce thesis statement writing to make sure all of my students really understand this part of their essay.

The Thesis Statement Information handout is well-organized and easy to understand. I like the analogies used to help students understand what a thesis is, as well as the section that distinguishes between what a thesis is and what it isn't. Students liked getting their own Thesis Statement Checklist, and it was helpful when doing the practice set.
