This is my first year at this school. At my old school, I had previous successes with reading To Kill a Mockingbird with my 9th/10th grade students. They enjoyed the themes, discussions, and mock trail we had. I have been working on this To Kill a Mockingbird unit for a while to make it rigorous and able to relate to students' lives. I'd planned to use it at my new school and the first unit we are doing builds into the theme of the To Kill a Mockingbird unit. I felt I was already to use this unit this year, so imagine my surprise when I learned the school didn't have a class set of the book! I would have scraped this unit if it hadn't been for my previous successes with the book. I'm hoping that we can still do it and I can gain the students' interest in our unit topic: how society shapes our attitude and actions. We will be looking at both primary sources and current literature, alongside To Kill a Mockingbird. Students will engage in analyzing the text and how elements of the book parallel their lives and current events.
