Description
Your learners will enjoy the rigor and creativity of our engaging To Kill a Mockingbird activities built from best teaching practices. We want to make your lesson planning journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This novel study includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of lessons. Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns it to the standards. We've filmed some training videos on (1) how to assemble a Novel Analysis Packet that is unique to the academic needs of your learners and (2) how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.
To make your digital experience smooth, we include instructions (w/ screenshots!) of how to download and organize your resources in Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. We've added Google Forms versions of each activity that auto-corrects their responses using a suggested answer key (which you can adjust afterward or modify your answer key) and compiles grades into a spreadsheet with learners' names and class periods to make things easier for you to grade all in one place (some types of question aren't able to auto-grade, though, because of the short-answer format).

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ This is the second unit I have purchased from Created for Learning, and I am not disappointed! I love how my students recognize the same types of creative and clear templates with a new unit/material. It makes teaching a new unit a lot easier, too, since I am already familiar with the unit I purchased before. THANK YOU for helping me out!!! :)
♥ I used this resource with my 8th grade honors class, and while I did not use every resource, the resources we did complete were fantastic. My students really enjoy the pre-reading bias activities included in your novel units, and the thought-provoking quick writes. The Shadrack game and hymn analysis really added depth to our reading and made the Shadrack scene so much more fun.
♥ THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This saved me hoursssss of prep work. It is so well thought out, and hits all of the standards that I needed for my novel unit. You guys are my absolute favorite to buy novel units from, especially since now we have 1:1 technology at my school, and ya'll have made these novel units into google drive friendly units! YES!
♥ This is the third unit I have bought from you and I cannot wait to dive into it! I have had great success with previous ones and I anticipate that this one will be just the same! Thanks!
♥ Just the resource I was looking for to start my novel study this year. I know these activities will be engaging and make novel study more fun and interesting for my students!
♥ This unit has everything. My kids enjoyed the pre-reading bias activity.
