Welcome, friends. In making SwiftRiverResources.com, I have found that some things just don't "fit" into the framework of the site. Here are some of the things I have found online that bring to life the study of To Kill a Mockingbird. Please use these alongside your journey starting on SwiftRiverResources.com.
Listed below are a description of the book from the publisher and posted on Amazon, articles from Wikipedia and Monroeville, Alabama, recipes, group projects, discussion questions, as well as some points to ponder about the story from Common Sense Media.
Please also find a PDF below with a full set of extra worksheets and word lists from SwiftRiverResources.com. Note: teacher keys and auto-graded quizzes are still accessed through a subscription to SwiftRiverResources.com.

When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem's fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh. He couldn't have cared less, so long as he could pass and punt.
When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out.
