If you have already read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee you have two options: 1) Re-read what is considered one of the most important and best loved literary works to ever be printed OR 2) Read a separate literary work of less acclaim that either deals with similar themes (race relations, injustice and maturing) or delves deeper into the era (Lee's biography, or a historical piece about events during the Jim Crow era up to the civil rights movement).
YOU WILL:
Fill out Annotation Bookmarks for each chapter of your selected book
Do the Vocabulary & Vocabulary quizzes the rest of the class is doing
Write Analytical Paragraphs about your book when the rest of the class is doing so on TKAM.

Your Final Test will be to present a slideshow (from googleslides, piktochart or powerpoint) to the class in which you address: characters, plot, symbols and major themes from your book of choice.
