Understanding+Setting+through+Oral+History

Before we begin reading //To Kill a Mockingbird//, I'd like you to understand the role of setting -- when and where the book takes place. You are going to be using the American Memory Collection from the Library of Congress for your research.

You will be reading a transcript of an interview that took place during the Depression. You will receive a letter grade for classwork. You will be evaluated on how well you use technology, your bibliographic entry, the thoughtfulness of the answers to your questions and your journal entries for each.

The following directions come from the //To Kill a Mockingbird: A Historical Perspective.//

In your groups, read the interview that you were assigned: [| "Looking Around with a Hay Farmer"] [|"Sallie Smith"] [|"The Story of Katie Brumby"] [|"Terrapin Dogs"]

Complete the [|Oral_History_Guide] for your reading as a group.
