Mimetic Lesson Plan ~ How to Write a Strong Thesis Statement

This is a complete and scripted mimetic lesson plan on how to write a strong thesis statement, with a lesson introduction for the teacher and a student handout. Examples (or types) are taken from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ by Harper Lee. This particular lesson plan is designed for a 9th grade 80 minute English class in a small group, co-op, or school setting. As a bonus, this is the lesson I taught which got me hired at one of the best liberal arts high schools in my state.
