Students often think they’re writing a claim… but what they’re really writing is a summary, a question, or an opinion with no direction.
This bright, student-friendly claim-writing mini lesson breaks the process down in a way that actually makes sense.
In this 11-slide lesson, students learn:
What a strong claim must include
Common claim no-nos (and why they don’t work)
A simple 3-step process for writing clear, focused claims
Students then practice by:
Revising weak or unclear claims
Writing their own claims using the process and guidelines
This lesson works well as:
An introduction to claim writing
A review before argument or literary analysis
A quick reteach or small-group lesson
Support for SPED, intervention, or struggling writers
What’s included:
11 editable slides (Google Slides / PowerPoint if applicable)
Direct instruction + guided and independent practice
Bright, engaging visuals designed to keep students focused
Perfect for upper elementary and middle school ELA classrooms.
