Description
Are you teaching your students about argumentative claims, thesis statements, or essay writing? Use as a mini lesson! Self-paced and self-checking practice with intervention! This product includes 335 interactive Google Slides™ that help students identify and learn the difference between an informational versus literary thesis statement as well as an open versus closed thesis statement. The lesson first explains what a strong thesis statement is and what it isn't. Then, through a series of ten examples, students practice recognizing different types of thesis statements as well as their various parts including topic, opinion/position, title, author, and supporting elements/reasons.

You do not need to assign a copy to each student for independent learning. Instead, you should share this lesson with students in Presentation mode. To do this, go to the URL address of the Google Slides™ presentation, find the word "/edit," delete all that follows it, and replace it with "/present." See this YouTube video for a visual explanation.
I recommend placing students into pairs to encourage conversation about correct and incorrect responses. You will have to stress to students to take this practice seriously, otherwise it could just turn into a "click-fest." They need to want to select the correct response the first time.
ALTERNATIVELY, you could use this slides presentation as a whole-class, game-style learning opportunity. If you have mini white boards, pass them out to students to answer along the way as an informal formative assessment.
