To Kill a Mockingbird Day 1

Today I am starting a reading of To Kill a Mockingbird (which will often be referred to as TKAM for faster typing).  This is a great read-along with Roof Beam Reader.  He broke it down that it is about 19 pages a day with different post opportunities.  I am excited to read this book again and offer ideas to teachers for teaching this book.  It is a great book to use to teach a lot of things in English.

So for today I am going to make a quick list for teachers trying to decide whether to use this or not. Basically a list of why they should....and I'm sure I will add to it as I re-read.

• Symbolism
• Foreshadowing
• Perspective (with Scout doing it from adult)
• Understanding historical context with a book
• And of course great writing!!

One of many edition covers you can get...I think each post I might do a different one :P
