To Kill A
Mockingbird
By Harper Lee
Grade: 11
Teacher: Dodson
Subject: English/ Language Arts

2. Purpose
• Atticus explains to Scout that, unless you take the time to see things
from the perspective of others, you never know the true character of a
person or understand that person and who he or she really is.
– Examine the quote, “You never really understand a person until
you see things from his point of view…until you climb into his
skin and walk around in it” (Lee, 1960, p. 16).
• Imagine that you are someone else for a day.
• Write your own narrative that tells the story of a day in the life of
another person.
• Consider any situation(s), such as, but not limited to, a disability, in this
person’s life by which he or she is judged or ridiculed by other people.
• Student will work in collaboration with other classmates to learn an
appreciation for the uniqueness of each person in the classroom.
• The UDL Solutions plan should assist John with reintegration into the
general classroom, thus enabling him to become a functional member of
the class, as well as benefit the other students in the class in their
understanding of how to respect others who might be different.
