This web-based thesis generator allows students to break up the complex task of writing a thesis statement into its component parts. The students first identify their prompt and topic then move into stating their position, a qualification of their position, and finally the reason behind their stance. Finally, the generator combines all these parts into their working thesis which the students revise into their final thesis statement. This is a great introductory tool for claim-based writing.
