The 1940s Powerpoint

The 1940s PDF

This is a PowerPoint intended to help introduce the time period in which the book, To Kill A Mockingbird is set.

To Kill A Mockingbird - Abridged

This is the abridged version of the book that was posted online. Feel free to use this version of the text as a way to scaffold up to the grade-level text.

To Kill A Mockingbird - Adapted

This is the adapted version of the text. The chapter worksheets that are included in this lesson plan, were made using THIS version of the book. For struggling readers, this is where you would begin, and then, after reading a chapter in this version, move to the abridged version and once a student is able to read the abridged version, the grade level text would be next. It is not necessary to read all three versions. They are simply supplied here for your use as you see fit to meet your student's needs.

Glencoe TKAM Unit

This is being included for use for those students who need a greater challenge than the worksheets for each chapter provide. Glencoe has created this Unit that can be used as a supplement to materials that have been provided here.

Additional TKAM Unit

This is an additional unit that has been created by a group of teachers and posted online for others to use. It again goes beyond the adapted text, and addresses information in the grade level text that you may find useful. Although there may be portions that would not work with your specific population, there are ideas and lesson plans included that could prove to be very useful.
