Education

To Kill a Mockingbird the movie could start some lively discussions in class, and it wouldn't seem like such a chore that reading the book (and writing a book report) might become. American students need to be familiar with the book because it's one of the foundation stones of our American literature. Educators would be remiss if they failed to teach this book to high school-aged kids. But perhaps the classic movie of To Kill A Mockingbird - watched in class and carefully discussed - might be enough to achieve that.
