As we head to Spring Break, let's quickly touch on one of America's seminal novels: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Beloved by thousands of young and old readers alike, this coming-of-age, Great Depression and Jim Crow era novel is celebrated as a hearty historical perspective on 1930s Southern culture.
We will only be reading an abridged version of the text due to time constraints of our 180 days together. You can find that version and an audiobook I recorded for you at this link. LitCharts is a really excellent resource that has some interactive flow charts of what happens throughout the novel. Make sure you check it out for solid explanations and analysis of the rest of the novel.
I highly recommend that if the story intrigues you that you read the entire novel by Harper Lee herself. The full novel is on audio files provided by this teacher's Weebly.
Many people consider TKAM their favorite book of all time. Especially in anticipation of the corollary novel that has recently been announced, you may find your new favorite author! See these other links to find out why so many love it!
