Group Work for To Kill a Mockingbird

In groups of 3 - 5, choose from one of the following options:

1. Each group member is to become one of the major characters in the novel. Each
person writes and delivers a 2-3 minute monologue for his or her character. Work
together on writing and rehearsing the monologues to make the presentation a
collaborative effort. You are encouraged to use props and costumes in your
presentation.

2. Write a script for a tour conductor showing people the town in which this book is set.
Describe the homes of the characters and the places where important events take
place. Plan to include brief chats with the novel’s characters along the way. You are
encouraged to include a musical background and sound effects. This project may be
taped or presented “live”. Each group member should contribute to the script as well
as the to the taped material and/or class presentation.

show. Write and deliver an interview with the major characters. One member of the
group will become the talk show host. Other members will each become one of the
major characters. All members should participate in writing and producing the script.
