A Classroom Guide to To Kill a Mockingbird - Paperback

by Candace R. Craig (Author)

Updated and streamlined, with the addition of ANSWER KEYS, this To Kill a Mockingbird classroom guide is the most comprehensive of all of the Craig's guides available. It is thorough, practical, and insightful. It contains chapter summaries with commentary and ready-to-copy exploratory questions, quizzes, tests, vocabulary, literary activities, projects and writing ideas, research, and much more. It contains a play adaptation of the trial scenes, with intervening critical thinking questions students can use to lead the class in presentations and interpretive discussions. In light of such events as Ferguson, Missouri, Charleston, South Carolina, and New York City, this guide promises to illuminate a novel that is as timely as ever. With Craig's guide, teachers will have even more reason to taut Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel for being as relevant today as it was in the years immediately following its publication in 1960.
