To Kill a Mockingbird Unit 
In this unit, you will read TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee, a critically acclaimed novel that deals with serious social issues such as rape and racial inequality. This coming-of-age story follows young Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout, as she navigates life with the guidance of her father, Atticus Finch. At the end of the unit, you will watch the movie TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962) and give an oral presentation on the book. 

This class uses the Moving Beyond the Page Language Arts curriculum. As such learners will use literature to learn language arts, develop their critical thinking and creativity skills, and use the 6+1 traits of writing approach (Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Conventions, Presentations). A Summary of Skills will be provided when you enroll that tells you which state and national (US) standards that each unit covers for your own planning and any documentation requirements that you need to submit to your local authorities.  

There are NO live meetings for this course. Multiple posts will be made to the classroom which will include: video lessons on the text and language arts/grammar lessons, discussion questions on the reading, homework post which will include the reading and worksheet/writing/creative project assignment, and question/answer posts regarding language arts, vocabulary, and grammar.
