Worldview Activity: This is where you take it one step beyond the movie to examine your own thoughts about the topics and themes.

Crossword Puzzle: Fun activity to reinforce vocabulary and the movie.
And so many more from Alternative Ending to Review questions to discussing Alabama in the 1930s. Each activity will engage not only your student but your family. I love lessons you can share as a family. So have a family movie night and extend it to make a lesson for your students. It is the essence of homeschooling to share as a family the lessons you are learning in a comfortable environment.
The basic topics include: The Great Depression, Race Relations, Courtroom Procedures and the Consequences of Lying.
If you are reading To Kill a Mockingbird and plan to watch the movie do not get caught without this guide. It will enhance your overall experience and immerse you in the time and topics in the movie. If you are not reading the book but studying the Great Depression or Race Relations then consider watching the film and using the guide to make it a memorable experience. Students love to watch movies and many will remember more from watching a movie. Making the connection between the movie and history as well as moral lessons will make a lasting impression.
