To Kill a Mockingbird Projects
Choose one of the following:
1. Create a collage of images from the novel to illustrate one or more of the novel's themes. Your collage's title should reflect the theme(s) you have chosen. Your collage should be at least as large as a half a sheet of poster board. It should be creative and neat. Write an essay in which you discuss the ways in which specific pictures relate to your theme. When you present your project, be prepared to discuss the ways in which specific pictures relate to your theme.
2. You and a partner should produce a newspaper that might have been published in Maycomb. The paper should include two articles about current events from the novel. Remember to answer the journalistic questions: who, what, when, where, and why. Your paper should also include an editorial about a controversial issue facing the people of Maycomb, a letter to the editor from a citizen of Maycomb, a church news article, and an obituary of someone from the novel who died. Articles should have headlines; the paper should have a name. Present in a newspaper format.
3. Pretend you are a reporter interviewing a character from the novel. Choose a character you would like to interview. Write a list of interview questions. Write responses to your questions you believe your chosen character would make. Remember, the character's responses should be consistent with what you know about the character's personality. Then record a video of the interview with you as the reporter and your partner as the character. The interview should last at least 3 minutes.
4. Prepare a scrapbook that Scout (or some other character) might have kept. You should have some representation of 10 items, and an explanation of why you selected those particular items and what the item reveals about Scout's (or others') character.
