To Kill A Mockingbird Lessons

Improved Essays
To Kill A Mockingbird is a interesting novel to read in fact, if one was to simply read through this novel it is evident that you will gain some type of lesson that you can benefit from in some aspect of your life. I took several lessons from this novel that can directly relate to the classroom environment. Although, there are several listens that I gathered from the novel the on concept that I could strongly relate to was the factor of working with other learners that may have some type of learning difference. In order to successfully work with others that don’t necessarily have the same learning style such as you, you must establish a common ground develop a relationship from there. Once that common ground is developed one will gain a sense

    Essential Questions I find it is important to understand significant historical events that were happening at the time the novel took place because without historical context readers could be confused as to why the protection of a black man is is frowned upon highly in the maycomb community. When a reader understands the history during the time of the novel he or she would understand that this was during the era of the Jim crow laws, and that the black community was segregated and discriminated. An example to further prove this is when during the trial light toned people sat on the first floor in pews or benches, while dark toned people were sitting in the second floor balcony.…

    “For the most part, having an understanding of old and new racism (Cross, 2005) complicated the novel for my students and me and allowed us to read both with and against it. What follows is a discussion of these frameworks, both of which I encourage for classrooms across the country engaging with TKAM” (Macaluso 281). In both of these instances, students were influenced to participate more in, and out, of the classrooms when reading To Kill A Mockingbird. They not only discussed themes in the book but also discussed their opinions about the book. Without the novel being taught to these students, they would have never had these experiences and never would have gained the ability to have deeper discussions among each…

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an intriguing book that I read over the summer. The setting takes place in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930s. As slavery was abolished just about seventy years ago, it is certain that racism and prejudice against blacks would still be present at the time of this story. This story is fascinating considering that it is told through a child who is clearly clueless about what is happening; creating some form of dramatic irony. It demonstrates to the readers many major life lessons and encourages us to act accordingly.…
