To Kill A Mockingbird (4th Block) by Kaitlin Pressley https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr What greatest lesson did this text reveal to you?/ In which character can you see yourself?/ Is this novel still relevant to teach to high school students today? en-us 2017-12-18 02:03:13 UTC 2025-11-09 00:02:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Justin Obimpeh https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045733 The greatest lesson that this text revealed to me ]]> 2017-12-18 18:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045733 Flynn Heise https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045851 The greatest lesson that this text revealed to me was to always stick up for what you believe is right. This can be seen throughout the book as lessons that are being taught to Scout and Jem by Atticus and the people around them. Atticus is contstantly telling them to not listen to others saying Tom Robinson is guilty just because he is black. Due to all of his teachings and contact reminders to do what is right, doing what you believe is right is the lesson revealed to me from the text.

I can see myself in some of Atticus. Like Atticus, I am more laid-back an calm. However, Atticus has lots of determination and a drive to do what he needs to do. Also like Atticus, I would not get pushed around by Aunt Alexandra and what she wants.

TKAM is relevant today because the message that it sends to people can still apply to today's society. Poeple today still discriminate against others, which is something this book touches on a lot. The book also talks about rumors and what not to believe. Boo Radley is always talked about as a monster, but if he hadn't been who he was, Scout and Jem would be dead.]]> 2017-12-18 18:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045851 Seth Toliver https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045946 I Think this novel is still relevant to high schoolers because the idea of not being prejudiced based on race can be expanded to not being prejudiced towards others based on things like sexuality or religion. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217045946 Saif Khan https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046010 The greatest lesson that the text revealed to me was to respect everyone equally, no matter the race or ethnicity. In this period of time, it's important to treat everyone the same. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046010 What greatest lesson https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046094 2017-12-18 18:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046094 Tejas - Greatest Lesson of the Text https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046137 The greatest lesson revealed by the Text is that children will grow up regardless of whether you teach how to be good adults or not. This means that some children never truly grow up because they are never taught about the issues in the real world and how to deal with them. However, they will always physically grow up and be forced to be a part of the real world, regardless of whether they are ready or not. Jem and Scout are taught about the real world by Atticus, and are prepared to be good adults as a result. The real call to action is to teach children about the real world and not just censor everything because then they will never truly learn and grow. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046137 Janelle Peters https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046139 This novel is relevant to teach high school students as it talks about important issues that are still relevant today. An example is racial differences. Even though we're in a different time period from the book is set in (there was slavery), people nowadays still face discrimination. Another example would be gender stereotypes because Scout is expected to act like a proper lady and Jem is expected to be a gentleman. People are just now starting to really change their views, so that still means that people still think that girls should act like girls and boys should act like boys. It teaches people about acting as just a good person and not following society's ideas. This is something that everyone should follow no matter what year, so yes it is relevant to teach high school students.]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046139 Evan Nguyen https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046141 To Kill a Mockingbird is still relevant to teach in Highschool because there are many important themes and life lessons you can take away from the book. From racism to sexism there is a lot to take from the book. Also it is a very interesting book too and it engages the reader to the realistic setting of Alabama during the Great Depression. This setting can also teach highschool kids how people acted like in the past.]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046141 Kaja Watkins https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046143 I can see myself in Atticus. Because he teaches his children to think against the way that everyone else thinks. Not everyone is treated equally in the time period and he works to see that everyone is treated the same, with respect and kindness]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046143 Melissa Frazier https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046156 TKAM is still relavent to tech to highschool students today as it shows that it's alright to have different opinions and values.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a timeless novel that teaches life lessons as well as incorporating social and historical events. For example, Atticus teaching his children tp act against the status quo also teaches the readers to reflect upon their actions. Not only do they get a new perspective of writing and literature, readers also learn to better improve themselves. In addition to this, the novel portrays how legalized racial segregation, expected gender roles, and differences of social classes affected and shaped the South. This way of life changed their views about race and of people . Even today, we are ablw to see some of these elements still present in the deep south today. Also, this novel also depicts the time where people struggled due to the Great Depression and Jim Crow laws that were in affect. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046225 Nur Mohammed https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046283 This novel is still relevant to teach high school students because I feel like it still in a way relates to the way life is today. I feel like the book is teaching us that we need to be kind to each other and to stop stereotyping people. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046283 Jaye Curry https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046331 I believe that this novel is still relevent to teach in schools today because its a classic that is very relatable.

This is shown in racial ways and lessons and also with gendered. Scout is not a traditional lady and aunt Alexandra needs to respect Scouts natural personality. They would get along a lot better if the aunt would stop bothering Scout about being a lady and just loved her for who she was. If people respected that Tom was a different race then they trial wouldn't have been unfair and a innocent man would have ultimately gotten killed]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046665 russpbg https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046683 Yes you can still teach this to high school students the lessons that they learn in this are still here today you don't have to fit to the norm.

In this book, Atticus defends Tom Robinson even though people get mad at him for doing so and it puts him and his family in danger. He continues to defend Tom because he knows what is right. Atticus knows it is unfair to send a man to prison or kill him simply because of the color of his skin. Therefore, Atticus is one of the only people that stands up for what he believes in so that is the lesson that I have learned. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046700 Madison https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046711 This novel is still relevant to teach to high school students today because I feel that everyone needs to learn that it is okay to stand up for something that other people don’t believe in.]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046711 Brandon Harvey https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046750 The greatest truth that this text revealed to me is that sometimes there are things that are out of one’s control
and that we are not able to control. This is seen with all of the crazy events that the children experienced for example, the situation with Bob Ewell in which they could do nothing but hope for the best and luckily in that situation he saved by Boo Radley in the end.]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046750 Isaac Cho https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046916 The greatest lesson this text revealed to me is that people should stick to what they believe in. Atticus shows that he believes that race does not matter by ignoring everyone else's thoughts on race and continued to go through the trial. People should not change how they feel simply because of others telling them they are wrong.

This book has lessons that have deep meanings that can be connected to today's society such as Racism, Sexism, etc. Though our cases of things like Racism and Sexism are a little less extreme they are still occurring in modern times. Overall the book deals with stereotyping and not to judge people by the way society judges them which can still be a lesson learned even today. To Kill A Mockingbird has a universal context that can be seen through many generations and has a reptition of being a classic due to its central theme that can be taught to high school students today. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217046946 Justin Obimpeh https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217047209 The greatest lesson that I have learned from the novel is that you should always believe in what you want to believe in, even though others may be against it. In the novel Atticus supported African Americans, however everyone else in the town discriminates against African Americans. Although Atticus was also discriminated against for supporting African Americans, he continued to defend African Americans in court because he knew that everyone was equal despite physical appearances.]]> 2017-12-18 18:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217047209 Taylor Lazzari https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217047335 The greatest lesson taught within TKAM is more than just racism or acknowledging the situation of civil rights in the past. Through out the story there are many different kinds of people some of them being privlidged in some way or some of them misunderstood. In the story everyone just builds off of what they hear not what they see which only contributes to the confusion and mistreatment of a a lot of characters. An example of this is Boo Radley, who was frequently depicted as an evil man when in reality he actually cares for other people. Tom was misunderstood and convicted for a crime he didnt commit, because people were prejudice against his race. The book teaches that, even though Scout and Jem might not have known how to treat people because of their environment they learned that people matter and how to be kind to them in an adult world versus a child.]]> 2017-12-18 18:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217047335 Madison https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217047666 A lesson that I learned from this text would be that no matter what you should always stand up for yourself regardless of what others think.

She just minds her own business and occasionally wants to know more about the world. She also asks questions about race, gender, and other issues to try to be as “grown up” as possible. I am kind of like that, but in a more realized and intelligent way. I want to learn about all the current issues and hate when people just say “Don’t worry about it” or “You don’t need to know”.

For example, kids today still struggle with being a normal kid and looking cool at school at the cost of their true personality. Jem becomes more agitated and conforms to gender roles, while kids today listen to suggestive music and talk about drugs in order to appear normal in front of their peers. Kids today can read the novel and learn that not all of society’s rules make sense and should be followed. It applies to everyone regardless of time because kids will always grow up and struggle with becoming an adult. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217050929 Jason Hernandez https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217051092 The greatest lesson that that I learned from the story was to do what's right and ignored what others say.

This is because the mocking bird symbolizes innocence. This is saying that you shouldn’t kill innocence which is relevant because during highschool kids are becoming adults and are experiencing many things. This would help them learn that while growing up you shouldn’t loose that quality of yourself.]]> 2017-12-18 18:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217052568 Evan https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217053896 The character I can relate to the most is Dill because sometimes my parents also make me angry because sometimes they don't understand me.

In the novel Jem grew up throughout the book and was able to grow more knowledgeable throughout the book. I believe that through age I have also grown more knowledgeable through the things that I have learned through school and other experiences. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217054889 Joanne https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217055116 This novel is still relevant to teach today even though the time frame was set years ago because it has many important lessons that everyone should know about. Discrimination against skin color is still going on in our current society and can be found all around you. Thro]]> 2017-12-18 18:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217055116 Bridget Hoang https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217055212 The greatest lesson that this text revealed was about the nature of transition from childhood to adulthood through experiences. In To Kill A Mockingbird, this lesson is revealed through Jem and Scouts experiences when at the beginning of the novel their innocence was displayed but through their experiences, they had a new perspective of the childhood innocence and was confronted by reality and evil. Also, their innocence can be displayed in the beginning because at they beginning the two children believed in all the good of people and did not pay much attention to the bad that can be found in people until the end when their outlook on the society and moral nature of people was ruined by their near death experience with Bob Ewell.

The character that I can see myself as is Jem. I can see myself as him though the emotions and experiences that Jem displays. He can be very emotional but he still cares and wants to look out for Scout. Also, I can connect with Jem because he was able to listen to his first thoughts and ideas in the beginning of the book, but as it progressed, Jem let the society’s output influence his thoughts. I have experienced this before but was able to over come the societal norms that were put into my head. This is why I feel like I can see myself as Jem.

Yes, I do believe that this novel is still relevant to teach today’s high school students. It is still relevant to today’s lessons because it can help teach and influence students about the days where there was still sexism and racism in the society. Although the novel’s ideas about the societal norms does not correlate with the same societal norms today, it is still relevant to teach students because it can help influence students to learn about the norms and not judge others because they are different. Especially with nowadays, some people and hire ideas are slowly changing back to the old days where there was sexism and racism, it can help teach than that it is wrong.

For example the novel teaches about the role of gender difference. This problem is still seen today in many ways. The novel also teaches about the role of racial discrimination. This problem is also relevant in the society today.]]> 2017-12-18 18:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217056393 Andrew Jung https://padlet.com/knicolepressley/nj1absfvd1gr/wish/217058463 The character that I see myself most as is Jem.
