Recognize this day with our To Kill a Mockingbird [ [link removed] ] English activity that teaches students about the setting of the Harper Lee?s novel that took place during three years of the Great Depression. With this activity students will look at Census Bureau unemployment data from the 1930s and use it to make inferences about the book?s setting, plot and conflict in the novel. Students will then use the information to create a written piece that demonstrates their understating of 1930s America.
