2-Point Thesis Writing: Recess in School

Help students write stronger thesis all without giving them the answer.

The 2-Point Thesis Builder is a guided, student-friendly tool that walks writers through a simple process:

1. choose a clear claim/stance
2. select two strong reasons
3. combine + revise into a formal, third-person thesis statement

Students get structure and suggestions, but they still do the thinking and typing in their own words.

What’s included

• Guided thesis builder workflow (claim → two reasons → thesis draft)
• Idea chips / starters to help students get unstuck (supports independence)
• Built-in formal tone + third-person reminders (no “I / me / my”)
• Quick clarity checks to confirm topic + claim + two reasons
• Clean, classroom-friendly design that works for whole class, small group, or independent practice

Best for

• Argumentative writing lessons
• Constructed responses
• Essay planning / prewriting
• Helping struggling writers build structure and confidence

Current topic

This version is designed around a recess in school prompt with supporting articles built into the document/tool.
