Harper Lee

What the maps cover

The Harper Lee page brings together user-made mind maps about the author. Several share the title “Harper Lee”, but their branches highlight different details. The first map listed includes her birthplace, siblings and education. Another groups information under education, money, birth name, home life and favorites.

Other maps include her friendship with Truman Capote, her achievements and her connection to To Kill a Mockingbird. The page also lists a note on Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Where to start

Start with the first “Harper Lee” mind map for an overview of her family and education. Follow its branches from her name to the details about her siblings and the college she attended. Then look at the map with branches for education, money, birth name, home life and favorites. Its headings offer another way to organize information about her.

Next, look at a map that groups personal life and achievements. Compare its headings with the first maps and notice which details appear in more than one place. Because these resources were made by users, it is useful to check details across maps rather than relying on a single summary.

Use the maps to study

There are no quizzes listed on this page. Instead, use a map’s branch headings to make questions for yourself. For example, cover the details under education and see what you can recall, then open another map to compare its coverage. Teachers can also use the different layouts as starting points for a comparison activity.

Harper Lee is one section of the To Kill a Mockingbird unit in Literature. The maps offer author information to use alongside your work in that unit. Choose a map and follow a branch to begin.
