To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that has several themes and motif’s running through it. Scout, our narrator, walks through the process of discovering a variety of truth’s about life- the themes and motif’s represent these truths.
Create a map of Scout’s “Thematic Journey”.
1. Synthesize the information we have explored in class to identify a General Theme (may be any of the ones we explored or may be a completely new theme you have thought of)
2. Identify 10 events which help develop this theme, the setting where the events took place, and the lessons learned from each event, and at least 5 quotes that connect the theme to different events.
3. Organize all of the events into a map format- tracking Scout’s journey of discovery. The map needs to include the following:
a. The setting of Maycomb mapped out as you imagine it. At least the places where your events took place must be included, although you may include more.
b. 10 events tracked in chronological order on the map. I would put a “path” or dotted line that leads us from event to event. Each event should be titled and briefly summarized in 1-2 sentences.
c. Lesson learned for each event- explain how this event contributed to the overall theme.
d. 5-10 quotes that show the connections between the event and the lesson in various events.
e. Paragraph answering the question: What did Scout learn? This will synthesize the lessons you have explored. Consider this a concluding paragraph.
