To Kill a Mockingbird Project - Newspaper Final Assignment for Harper Lee Novel

To Kill A Mockingbird Project Newspaper Final Assignment is a fun and creative assignment where students will be allowed to create a newspaper called "The Maycomb Daily", in which they act as journalists living in Scout and Jem's world. This project would be an excellent final assessment for a unit on the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, with the bonus of exposing students to some of the skills and terms used in journalism. This ready-to-use resource includes a PowerPoint presentation outlining the project, worksheets, and a template for the newspaper.

Included In The To Kill A Mockingbird Project:

➡️ To Kill A Mockingbird Newspaper Project Introductory Presentation: This 14-slide PowerPoint presentation will introduce students to the project by sharing how to write for a newspaper, information on each of the columns students are required to write, and the final product requirements.

➡️ To Kill A Mockingbird Newspaper Project Student Handouts: These handouts will engage students in the pre-writing process and get them ready to create a fun and interesting newspaper! Included is a handout with all of the project information; pre-writing activities for a headline story, an obituary, a special interview, an advice column, and a life and times section; and pages for rough drafts and good copies for each of the columns.

➡️ Blank Newspaper Templates: Once students have completed their pre-writing planning, they can use these blank templates to format their articles, and can choose which pages best fit their needs (or they can choose to do it all themselves and not use the templates).

What Teachers Are Saying About This To Kill A Mockingbird Project:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this with my reluctant learners and they enjoyed it. Highly recommend. It was nice to give them more creative outlets other than standardized test writing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing resource! I especially love that the students need to write a first draft before they create their newspaper.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was wonderful! My students worked in groups and each group put together their newspaper. The handouts do a great job of guiding students through each assignment and it was a great culminating activity for To Kill A Mockingbird.
