TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dawn O. says, "What a great resource! Students really need this reinforcement on thesis statements when they are writing. I often found myself struggling teaching writing because, as a natural writer, it came easy to me. I, then, found it a challenge to teach. This resource was a huge help and made teaching thesis statements a breeze."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Makayla R. says, "This broke down the writing process in such a way that is easy to understand and builds on itself. Super helpful to introduce thesis statements and practice as well."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Patricia V. says, "I teach thesis statement writing in 6th but use this resource with my 7th and 8th graders and I just LOVE IT! It is such an easy prep resource for me, but the data it gives me and allows me to work with small groups on restructuring their statements and weak vs. strong, just overall LOVE THIS."
