It's a great addition to the book followup. It not only makes the biographical connections that kids enjoy hearing about, but also models thoughtful reader response techniques. (Interesting that Harper Lee was not in favor of forced integration--the comment that one's birthplace can be "a straitjacket." Also interesting that Lee revised the book repeatedly--would be a good comment to bring up!) I've taught the book and read countless student essays about it, but this truly would provide a "missing piece" to enhance student response to the unit. This is an excellent resource!

The film was great too, but as most things go in this particular subject, the book is best. I highly suggest reading the book AND watching the film. The film follows the book very closely, so that's always nice [: This was a fantastic novel! The film was great too, but as most things go in this particular subject, the book is best.

In my sixth grade class, the better readers were given "Mockingbird" others were assigned "Sounder" and I was in the first group. Every few years I visit the story like an old friend.
