Extra Credit Project Possibilities for English III and To Kill a Mockingbird

        1.     Put together a scrapbook from either Jem or Scout’s point of view.  Include pictures, images, etc., from their years as we see them in the book.

        2.     Compile a soundtrack of music to go with the book.  You would probably want to have a theme song for each of the characters, a song for the major events in the book, etc.  Write up a short summary of what the song is, who sings it, and why you chose it.  (There is a song out there specifically about Boo Radley.)

        3.     Put together a program or playbill as if this book were going to be made into a play or movie.  Include a cast of characters and put modern-day actors in the key roles.  Playbills also have summaries of the action, background information, advertising, etc.

        4.     Pick a scene, character, setting, or event from the book and create a piece of artwork around it.  Use whatever medium you want.

        5.     Create and put up a bulletin board on one of the three boards in/outside of room 205.

        6.     Since the book is from Scout’s point of view, we don’t always know what the other characters are thinking or feeling.  Write a journal entry from either Jem, Atticus, Boo, Calpurnia, etc., centered around one of the major events from the book.

        7.     Costuming:  If you were the costume director, what would your costumes look like for the main characters.  Sketch, use fabric, choose colors and make a poster about how you see these characters dressing.

        8.     Any other ideas?  Build something?  Make food?  Draw up a map?
