http://www.lessonplanspage.com/LACreativePlanForToKillAMockingbirdHS.htm
This lesson plans is to go along with the reading of To Kill a Mocking Bird. For this assignment students are divided up into four groups and each group has a different task that is related to the book.
Group 1:
Construct a relief map of Maycomb County. Include homes of the main characters, and other landmarks of the county. Present your map to the class.
Group 2:
Do any of your fellow students remind you of characters in the novel? Photograph them and creatively present your display to the class.
Group 3:
Collect poems, songs, stories, etc. dealing with prejudice/discrimination of any kind. Create a display (perhaps even a recording) and present it to the class.
Group 4:
Write and video tape a scene during which a person is a victim of discrimination. Show it to the class.
Group 5:
Use the internet, magazines, encyclopedias, books, etc to find pictures and make a collage depicting acts of discrimination and kindness as well. Present your collage to the class.
This lesson allows for multiple learning styles and is a fun creative way to continue to explore the various aspects of the novel. I like this lesson because students could be given the option to choose which group they will be a part of and that gives them the opportunity to do something that plays off of their strong points and their interests. It is a great lesson because it has something for everyone.
