To Kill a Mockingbird Movie Unit, Questions/Activities
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Add rigor and interest to your To Kill a Mockingbird unit or movie study with this To Kill Mockingbird Movie Viewing Guide! The activities included could be used with your study of the novel or movie, but they are not novel-to-film comparisons. This pack works with the 1962 version of the movie to study a film as a text. These no-prep, standards-based activities and assignments are classroom-tested and student-approved, and will have you covered for up to three day!
Student Experience: Students will be able to enjoy watching the movie while digging deeply to understand and analyze the layers of this great American novel. Begin the mini-unit with a quick study of the Jim Crow Laws or with book censorship controversies surrounding this text. Meaningful questions will keep students active while watching. Students won't miss essential plot details, characterization, symbolism, or theme elements either because I've included interactive tools for you to use to cover those elements as well. Last, creative responses to and assessments of the movie are also included: writing prompts, quizzes, paired text, and a craftivity. If you want students to analyze the movie and show their understanding of literary and thematic concepts through their viewing of this movie, then this is the pack for you. I've used this pack so many times successfully in my class, and students report they love the Mockingbird unit!
