To Kill a Mockingbird: Activity Pack

for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE English Literature

Harper Lee’s prestigious novel handles a number of sensitive themes against the backdrop of a contentious and troubling period of American history. This Activity Pack aims to make the reading, understanding and interpreting of Lee’s novel as approachable as possible, taking students through stimulating chapter-by-chapter tasks before progressing to activities relating to the text as a whole.

Activities include:

  • Insightful questions
  • Stimulating reading and writing tasks
  • Pair and group work
  • Creative activities for visual and kinaesthetic learners
  • Appealing tasks based on modern media
  • Spoken language tasks

A carefully considered structure that develops understanding:

  1. Build a foundation for learning and get students interested with introductory pre-reading exercises.
  2. Dig deeper with text-based activities. Every chapter is explored through a range of thought-provoking tasks.
  3. Consolidate knowledge with whole-text activities focusing on: Characterisation • Relationships • Setting • Themes • Ideas and Messages • Language • Form • Structure • Context

All activities are perfectly matched to the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Assessment Objectives, and the fantastic structure makes the pack accessible for your whole class – differentiation is built in.

An ideal complement to the Study Guide for this text.
