To Kill a Mockingbird
April 23-May 18, 2012
Commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of America’s most beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning novels in CFL's online Book Group for To Kill a Mockingbird. Read Harper Lee's classic story and engage in thought-provoking discussions with your peers on how to teach this compelling novel to your students.
Participants will contemplate the main issues in To Kill a Mockingbird, including racism, justice and judgment, and the morality of people. You will share ideas on how to help students comprehend these complex themes, which they will certainly face in life, but rarely have the opportunity to discuss. You'll also discover ways to make your modern-day classroom understand the setting—Alabama during the Great Depression—and relate to the main characters.
During the Book Group, you will participate in provocative online discussions and assignments that will open up fresh ways to teach this timeless masterpiece in your class.
