Instructional Ideas

• A perfect resource for film as literature classes, for a unit study of film adaptations of novels and nonfiction texts, or for classes that use the film version as part of the study of a Harper Lee's novel

Classroom Considerations

• The first in a four-resource series that uses To Kill a Mockingbird to explore the process of adapting novels and nonfiction text to film
• The materials are designed to be use after the reading of the novel and with a showing of the complete film
• A DVD of the film is no longer available from the site; however, copies are available for purchase online
• The massive file takes a considerable time to download

Pros

• The 23-page packet includes step-by-step directions for lesson plans, all required resources, and links to additional materials

Cons

• None
