Final Project – To Kill a Mockingbird – English I
Final Project – To Kill a Mockingbird – English I
Instructions: Choose ONE of the following projects to complete. Due _________. Project grade.
A major part of your grade is your ability to think creatively and originally while showing understanding of the novel and its themes.
Boo’s Diary- You may use drawings you invent, pictures you cut from magazines, small objects, or simply write the entries. What do you think he is thinking as he goes through the events of the story and his part of the plot? How does he see those events? How does he see the children? What does he think is happening? How can you show what he thinks is happening without words? You should use the 1st person through Boo’s eyes. Diary must have 5 TYPED entries of at least one paragraph (175 words minimum) and an illustration to receive a C. To receive full credit, you must correctly include 1 example of each of the following in your writing: dialogue, figurative language (simile, metaphor, or personification), and direct characterization.
Illustrate five scenes- The illustrations must be relevant to the novel and original (don’t just Google pictures from the film). You may use magazine cut outs in your illustrations, though you are encouraged to draw and color a significant portion to receive full credit. You need to use your imagination and your book! For each scene, TYPE a one paragraph of 150 words explaining your illustration and choices (why you used certain colors, characters, etc.). If you use typing paper, pen and pencil only, you will not receive a grade higher than a D, for this part of your project. There is a list of ideas on the bottom of this page.
Music: Make a CD playlist of at least 7 songs that represent the themes/characters/events in the story. You must also make cover art for your CD that also illustrates a major theme, symbol, or image of the novel. You must include lyrics from each song in your 7 paragraphs that show similar themes, situations, ideas, or feelings in To Kill a Mockingbird. Make sure there is at least one paragraph of 125 words TYPED for each song to receive a C. Each paragraph should make connections between the song and the book. It should be evident from these paragraphs that you have read and that you have fully understood the themes and how they are connected to the lyrics of the songs you have chosen.
Write the last scene: The catch with this assignment is that you must rewrite the final night as Boo Radley or Bob Ewell (pick one) might have told it. Some things to consider: Explain why you were out walking late that night? Were you waiting for the children? Why did you have a knife? Your writing must be at least 1.5 pages typed (400 words) long and in final draft quality. The final draft should also contain direct references to images, events, and characters in the book, consistent with Lee’s novel. To receive full credit, you must correctly include 1 example of each of the following in your writing: dialogue, figurative language (simile, metaphor, or personification), and direct characterization.
