Here's a must-have resource for anyone reading To Kill A Mockingbird or using Harper Lee's award-winning novel in a classroom. The packet contains Miss Hollace Ransdall's first-hand, factual account of the trials of the Scottsboro Boys, the economic and social background of the case, as well as information about the two plaintiffs and their families. Worksheets draw comparisons between the trials of the Scottsboro defendants and Tom Robinson, the plaintiffs, and the closing statements of the two attorneys.
