Description
Class Experience
Students will learn to write three-pronged thesis statements for expository, persuasive, and narrative essays. The following is a general outline of the class format: -Introductions -Formative assessment: Bring a thesis statement you have written in the past. -What is a thesis statement? Why does your essay need one? -The three-pronged approach -Expository thesis statements lecture and practice -Persuasive thesis statements lecture and practice -Descriptive thesis statements lecture and...
Students will learn what a thesis statement is, its purpose, and each part needed to write an effective statement.
I am offering this class because, through my years as a middle school special education teacher supporting students in the general education setting, I have seen all studnets struggle with writing effective thesis statements. I have learned a formula which will help students write successful thesis statements from middle school to college.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Formative assessment: At the beginning of the course, students will present a thesis statement that they have written in the past. (If they do not have one, one will be assigned to them). This will give the teacher baseline data on the students' knowledge. Summative assessment: At the end of the class, students will spend time rewriting their own thesis statements using their newly aquired knowledge.
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
