To Kill a Mockingbird Webquest

Task

Your task is to form a research group with your peers and become experts on the Great Depression, the Jim Crow Era, the Scottsboro Boys Trial, and the role of women and children in the 1930s. You will ultimately create a poster and presentation that explains the historical context of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Your group will teach the class what you learned about the time period about which Harper Lee was writing. Your projects will be used to teach future classes about the historical context of the novel.
