Excellent Resource Guide for the Price,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide for Using To Kill a Mockingbird in the Classroom (Literature Unit (Teacher Created Materials)) (Paperback)
I thought that this guide was definitely worth the money that was paid for it. The teacher created materials guide for To Kill a Mockingbird includes a table of contents which divides the novel into 6 different sections (for example, Section 1 includes Chapters 1 through 5 in the book). There are pre-reading activities to generate interest in the book (themes such as justice and prejudice, as well as a brief biography of Harper Lee) as well as a few ideas for teachers after the novel is finished (there is a list of research topics for this time period that is helpful for teachers who want to generate some related topics). Vocabulary lists for each of the novel sections and a few vocabulary activity ideas are also included (examples: part of speech chart for vocabulary words, word puzzles, etc). I found this section extremely beneficial because it saves so much time to already have a list of difficult words generated for the students. Each section has study questions for each of the 6 sections (it is actually listed as the Quiz section). Although some of the questions are a bit general (example, List three important events from this section), overall the questions fit quite well within the scope of the novel and can be used as a tool for checking comprehension. There are several other neat ideas that can be used directly or adapted by the teacher into another activity. For instance, there is a section on Urban Myths and Myths, which ties into the character of Boo Radley. There are questions for conducting an interview of "The Great Depression" that could be used as a take-home assignment for a student. There are ideas for Southern Cooking (if that's your thing) and a section on understanding similes and metaphors (which are quite frequent in the book). Also, there is a characterization chart for four of the main characters (Scout, Jem, Atticus, Dill) as well as a section that discusses the ideas of theme and examples of racial hatred and discrimination. Overall, although only 48 pages in length, I felt this was an excellent buy. It is very organized and quite helpful for a teacher needing extra resource material for a novel.

A little "thin" but worth the money,
This review is from: A Guide for Using To Kill a Mockingbird in the Classroom (Literature Unit (Teacher Created Materials)) (Paperback)
We purchased this guide and the Cliff Notes to aid us in our monthly book club meeting for March. (See our review of To Kill a Mockingbird -- both the film and the novel.) As a teacher, I greatly appreciated the section devoted to vocabulary building -- so much easier than compiling the list of words myself. And we all found the sections on the author, the Great Depression, urban myths, and figures of speech great jumping-off points for discussion and further research. It may seem that you get more for your money from the Cliff Notes, but my experience was that we turned to this slim volume more frequently and that it generated better reader response.

A Guide for Using To Kill a Mockingbird in the classroom,

This review is from: A Guide for Using To Kill a Mockingbird in the Classroom (Literature Unit (Teacher Created Materials)) (Paperback)
Over the years I have used teacher created resources for teaching different books. I have to admit this one is not one of the better ones on the market. What was this author thinking? I have taught `Mockingbird" to numerous students over the last 20 years and even used it as one of the books for my masters in reading. In all the years I have never found the connection of "Bloody Mary" as well as other terms on pg. 26 in the book. Also pg.13 is still having me shake my head. There are much better books out there for teaching this WONDERFUL book.
