Description
This presentation begins by noting some of the autobiographical elements in the story and then gives students all of the historical context they need to understand allusions to The Great Depression, segregation, gender roles, and Europe. It also includes a section to preview and introduce the main characters in To Kill a Mockingbird as well as its major themes. It integrates many photos and primary sources as well as three embedded videos. There is a Prezi version AND a PowerPoint version. (Click here for Google Slides version)
The videos are:
- A short clip on the Stock Market Crash with footage of bread lines, etc.
- A short clip from FDR's inauguration speech including his famous "nothing to fear but fear itself" line - it's great to preview this clip with students so that they pick up on the allusion to the speech in the first chapter of the novel.
- A video about Emmett Till, which is a great historical example of the racism that was rampant in the southern legal system. This background information later helps students to understand why Tom Robinson is unable to receive a fair trial.
Not sure what a prezi is? Watch the preview video to see me click quickly through the resource. (Remember it also comes in PowerPoint form).
