To Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird
Description:
In this "To Kill a Mockingbird" project idea that uses iPads, the importance of perspective is first introduced through Dorothea Lange's iconic Migrant Mother photograph and is reinforced through images of the Jim Crow era. As a final project, students are asked to personalize Atticus Finch's famous quotation about the importance of "walking in another's shoes." By shadowing an acquaintance for a two-hour period, using the pedometer and GPS features to track their physical movement and voice memos and notes to create an interactive diary, students will develop their own sense of empathy and reach a deeper understanding of Harper Lee's famous novel.
