A Fresh Take on an American Classic
Funded Jan 29, 2019
Thank you all so much for supporting our project. My students and I sincerely appreciate your generosity. We could not have purchased this text without each of your help and we look forward to diving into our new text during our next unit. Please stay tuned for photos of our students enjoying their new copy of To Kill a Mockingbird: A Graphic novel!”
With gratitude,
Ms. McCarthy

This recently published adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird" will help students with reading deficiencies access a complex and classic text. This text is found in middle school classrooms throughout the country and, love it or hate it, is a part of the fabric of the American education system. Yet "To Kill a Mockingbird" is an extremely challenging read for many 8th graders. The novel is packed with rich vocabulary words, references to early 20th-century Southern living and antiquated dialogue. This newly published and beautifully illustrated graphic novel will help all students dive in to a canonical text. The illustrations support students in grasping essential plot points without having to grapple with difficult language. With your help, all students will be able to participate in rich conversations about gender, race and growing up in American society.
