To Kill a Mockingbird

Final Project

As we've been reading this book in class they've been falling apart. Pages are coming out, covers are coming off, etc. It's getting to be a little ridiculous so the department is ordering new books. Since we would just throw them away I decided to turn it into a project. Instead of a test, the students will have to identify and label figurative language throughout the novel. They also have to create a collage based on a theme in the book, draw a map on one of the pages, choose a character to analyze, write about a character they relate to, choose four quotes that are meaningful and significant and explain why and write a reader response to the book. All of this will be done in a copy of the novel. I'm really excited about this and some of the students are too. They are really excited about writing in the books. Here are some pictures of the example I made to show them.

The cover and the ribbons are to mark the pages I found/wrote things on

One of the quotes I chose... the explanation is on a post-it on the next page.

I chose Calpurnia to analyze. Adjectives to describe her are on the apron with quotes as evidence written around her.
