Task Cards: Error Analysis — The Power Set

These task cards challenge students to spot and fix common mistakes in thesis statements. Each card includes a prompt and a student-written thesis that may look right at first glance—but isn’t always doing the correct thinking job. Students decide whether the thesis is correct, explain what went wrong, and rewrite it so it truly matches the prompt. This set pushes students to think like strong readers and writers by explaining their thinking, not just correcting the answer.
