What educators are saying

My students were struggling with understanding the difference between a thesis statement and a topic sentence. After using this resource, the students had a better grasp at identifying and writing a thesis, as well as a topic sentence.

Description

Use this no-prep lesson on Thesis Statements, Topic Sentences, and Closing Sentences for your 6th-8th grade students! This will improve their writing skills with great understanding for essays!

This is basic information on thesis statements, topic sentences, and closing sentences. I have provided examples so that students can see thesis statements, topic sentences, and even closing sentences together. I have also provided group practice slides.

Included:

Teacher instructions
Teaching slides for thesis statements
Example slides for thesis statements
Teaching slides for topic sentences
Example slides for topic sentences
Teaching slides for closing sentences
Example slides for closing sentences
Companion notes--2 levels (one already filled in and underlined)
Practice worksheets--2 levels (one includes sentence starters)

You will download a printable PDF for the printable notes! In this PDF, you will click the links to add the lesson slides and student digital notes to your Google Drive. If you want to, you can download the slides as a PowerPoint presentation instead of using Google Slides!
