Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird meets the standard for Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity for middle and high school grades. Since the novel is most commonly taught in middle school, this guide is aligned to the Common Core standards for grade 8. It is easily adaptable to a variety of grade levels and classes. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.8.10  \nTo Kill a Mockingbird is noted as an exemplar text by the Common Core State Standards for the English Language Arts: [http://](http://)[ ](http://)[www.corestandards.org/assets/Appendix_B.pdf](www.corestandards.org/assets/Appendix_B.pdf)  \nA complete list of the Common Core State Standards can be found at [http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards](http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards).  \nThis Teacher’s Guide is divided into three sections. The first,“Guided Reading Questions,” will help students with reading comprehension and appreciation. These questions can be used as a guide for annotating the text, journal responses, or class discussion. A focus on the analysis of characters, plot, and theme is embedded within these questions. The second section, “Writing and Discussion Prompts,” consists of analytical writing and discussion prompts and is subdivided into genres based on the writing standards. The third section,“Research Topics,” requires students to conduct and synthesize significant outside research on topics related to the novel.  \nBefore you Read: Students often assume that the civil rights movement immediately followed the end of slavery. Before you begin this unit, you may want to lead students in a brief guided research group activity to have them create a timeline of significant events in American history that occurred between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. Post the timeline in your classroom and, as they read, help students place the events in To Kill a Mockingbird on this timeline.
