About To Kill a Mockingbird

GoConqr Original

What the unit covers

This unit is about Harper Lee's novel, and the resources follow the book from several angles. Chapter maps run through the story, such as the maps for chapters 4-6, chapters 16-21, chapters 22-25 and chapters 26-28. Character resources cover Scout, Jem, Atticus, Boo Radley, Dill, Mrs Dubose, Aunt Alexandra and the Ewells. Theme resources look at racism, morality, innocence, courage, perspective and sexism.

Where to start

If you are new to the book, begin with the notes on plot overview and the chapter maps, including the one that opens with Scout explaining her family ancestry and meeting Dill. Once you know the story, move to the character maps. The notes on major characters explain how Jem is changed by what he sees, and the Atticus Finch map gathers his values, his work and key incidents such as the shooting of the dog, Mrs Dubose and the trial.

Themes, context and quotes

The notes on themes, motifs and symbols explore social inequality and the social hierarchy of Maycomb. The Symbol of the Mockingbird map and the tkam symbols flashcards help you link ideas to images. Several maps and slide sets cover historical context, which is useful when you want to explain why the characters think and act as they do. Flashcard decks of key quotes give you short lines to learn and use in answers.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. The To Kill A Mockingbird Quote quiz asks who said a line and which theme it links to, which is good practice for connecting evidence to ideas. TKAM: The Ewells is a quick check on one family. If a question stumps you, go back to the matching map, then try again.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Twentieth-Century and Contemporary Novels strand of Literature. Some notes are written for GCSE English, including one on structuring paragraphs and one on how Jem and Scout's relationship changes, so teachers can use them as models for essay planning.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the plot overview notes or the chapter maps, such as the one for chapter 1, which introduces Scout, Jem, Dill and the Radley house. Once the story is clear, move on to the character maps and then the themes notes. Finish with a quiz to check what stuck.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 900 of them. They cover individual chapters, main characters such as Atticus, Scout, Jem and Boo Radley, and themes including racism, innocence, courage and perspective. Others deal with context, the symbol of the mockingbird and the presentation of the black community.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing a few resources on the same topic.

Which exams do these resources suit?

The listed resources mention GCSE English Literature and GCSE English, and all are at secondary level. Notes such as the GCSE English ones and the paragraph-structure guide are useful for essay practice. Check your own exam board's requirements alongside them.

Can I test myself on quotes?

Yes. The To Kill A Mockingbird Quote quiz asks who said a line and which theme it links to. There are also several flashcard decks of key quotes, plus notes of quotes for Scout, so you can learn lines and then check them.

What if I can't find what I need?

Try a different format for the same topic, since a character or theme may appear as a map, a flashcard deck and a note. If there is still a gap, a free account lets you make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes.
