In the classic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout narrates the 1st person point-of-view of a young girl growing up in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama. The situations in this novel will run you through a range of emotions from humor, to disbelief, to outrage. The story may even lead you to question how much society has or has not changed since the 1930’s. Before reading this novel, understanding life in the South in the 1930’s is important. Racism and prejudice were prevalent, poverty was rampant due to the Great Depression, and children were not meant to be “seen not heard.” Life was hard. In order for you to gain a clearer understanding of setting (time and place) and major themes of the novel, follow the task.

These questions were geared to get you to think about what life was like in southern states during the Great Depression (setting).
You read about how prejudice, stereotypes, and justice (or the lack thereof) played into everyday life, and considered whether these same issues still exist today (themes).
Now you have the background, we are going to jump into a novel set in this time and place which deals with these themes. Even if you have read To Kill a Mockingbird before, there are many levels of understanding that can occur with another reading.
Are you ready to laugh, get angry, and question your own treatment of others? Here we go!

Begin this lesson with a broad view of justice and relate the concept to the students’ lives today. Ask students: What is justice? Then discuss the Timothy Masters case in which he was recently released from prison after serving 9 years because recent DNA testing did not link him to the crime scene. Ask students: How would you feel to go through a trial, have your name destroyed, and then serve 9 years in prison for a crime you did not commit? See Timothy Masters
