THE SECRET TO SAVING TIME!

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP FEELING FRESH!

Nail down the one sentence that gives your research and writing direction with my one-of-a-kind 5 step plan that takes you from your first sentence to your last sentence in record time.

Master the one sentence that drives your essay and steers your grade in the right direction.

If there's one essay skill I wish I'd been taught, it's how to tell the difference between a good thesis statement and a bad one.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR ESSAY WITH A BROKEN THESIS STATEMENT

FIRST

you read a text and think,

How can I use anything I just read?

THEN

you start writing and wonder,

Is this important? Should I even include this?

you read over your first few paragraphs and ask yourself,

How does all of this tie together? Where am I going?

UNTIL

you have several pages written but that one nagging question remains,

What am I even trying to say?

In all 4 of my undergrad years, I was best friends with the broken thesis statement and I didn't know it. After many not-so-good essays, I decided I was a bad writer with not a whole lot to say. Until one day I realized - I didn't have a writing problem. I had a navigation problem.

Not knowing what to say, which texts to read, how to tie your ideas together, or second-guessing everything you write doesn't mean you're a bad writer. It means you need a roadmap.

And, that's what Thesis Thinking is - a roadmap to organize and structure your thinking.

You don't have to be an expert on your essay topic or a top-notch writer. You just need to know what makes or breaks a thesis statement. And, when you do - snap! - you stop feeling lost, you stop wasting time and you take back control.

STEP 1:

Thesis Statement Must-Knows

Here's where I break down everything you need to know about a thesis statement: what it is, when to use one, where it belongs, when you should write it, and why it matters. I'll also debunk a few common myths around essays and academic writing that are likely holding you back from writing your best essay.

MY 5 STEP PLAN TO

By the end of Step 1, you'll be able to:

identify a thesis statement and where to place one in your essay
explain why a thesis statement matters
know when you do and don't need to include a thesis statement in your writing

STEP 2:

Hallmarks of A Strong Thesis Statement

You want your thesis to get you from the starting line to the finish line. In Step 2, I set you up with a thesis evaluator to take the guesswork out of knowing what to say. Then, I show you how to make your argument "just the right size" to keep your research in check and your analysis specific.

By the end of Step 2, you'll be able to:

assess the strength of your thesis statement using my thesis evaluation checklist
pinpoint specific parts of your thesis to refine to stop your research from running wild

STEP 3:

5 Ways to Organize Your Thesis Statement

In Step 3, I teach you 5 ways to organize a thesis and show you how to match your thesis to your essay prompt. You'll learn how to pull out and use the task words from your essay question to select an organization pattern that will work for you and help you map out the big sections of your essay.

By the end of Step 3, you'll be able to:

identify key task words in your essay prompt to select
organize and write 5 different types of thesis statements

STEP 4:

Be A Critic: Catching & Correcting the MOST COSTLY Mistakes

In Step 4, I spill all the good stuff that most teachers don't cover. It's the largest and most important step of my thesis writing process and that's why I don't just "teach" you the material, I give you ways to creatively connect with it.
Just like in a TV crime show where detectives profile serial killers and dangerous criminals, I profile 7 types of thesis statements that are most likely to cause your essay to spiral out of control. And - I set you up with a 1-2-3 action plan to catch and correct each one.

By the end of Step 4, you'll be able to:

spot the most costly thesis mistakes that cause your research to spiral out of control
catch and correct your thesis to prevent you from over-reading
follow a step-by-step approach to correct your thesis on your own
use language more effectively and improve the overall quality of your writing

STEP 5:

Beyond the High School 1 - 2 - 3 List Thesis Statement

Step 5 picks up where far too many high school English classes leave off - with the one sentence, 3 point thesis statement. You'll learn practical ways to think beyond the 3 point thesis to add maturity and complexity to your writing and promote your essay to university status.

By the end of Step 5, you'll be able to:

use 2 different strategies to transform a high school thesis into a university-level one
think beyond a formula style thesis framework
integrate your ideas into one coherent argument using big picture thinking

A few questions you probably want answered

Is there a workbook or practice exercises?

There's a mini-workbook for you to fast-track your new skills & see them in action.

Yep.

How do I know if I need a thesis in my essay?

All essays require a thesis.

The word essay means

"an attempt" - and an

essay is an attempt to

validate your thinking.

The word 'essay'

How long will this take me to work through?

You could read it in an hour. But - I'd suggest working at a slower pace and giving yourself time

to process the material.

An afternoon.

I don't know what a thesis is. Is this a good place to start?

This resource is ideal for students new to writing thesis statements and university-level essays.

Absolutely.

If someone offered you a map that gave you directions to get from the first sentence of your essay to your final one, you'd take it, right? This is the map you need - you just have to put a little work in to get it.
