Take a few minutes to browse Teaching Mockingbird. Then talk with the person next to you: -What do you see here that resonates with how you teach Mockingbird? - What is new?

The Central Question: What factors influence our moral growth? What kinds of experiences help us learn to judge right from wrong?

Understanding the Setting of To Kill a Mockingbird As you watch, capture one image and one phrase that relate to Mockingbird.

“Settings don’t come from a vacuum… They grow and evolve from the compost of all that we know from the world, from history, from our own experience and that of humanity, and from our experience with other books and movies from the genre we are reading.” - Michael Smith and Jeffrey Wilhelm in Fresh Takes on Teaching Literary Elements

Paired Close Reading -Compare the reactions of Scout and Virginia: how do we account for their responses? -What do you notice about how each narrator learns her place in a segregated society? What does this pairing of texts add your thinking about the Central Question? What factors influence our moral growth? What kinds of experiences help us learn to judge right from wrong?

Michael Smith and Jeffrey Wilhelm on Point of View “We… need to think about what didn’t or couldn’t get told from the narrator’s point of view. If something could have been told but wasn’t, we realize it’s our job as readers to try to find out.” - from Fresh Takes on Teaching Literary Elements (NCTE, 2010)
