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?
