WebQuest due Monday, November 9th

Before we begin reading “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee on Monday, I want you to do some research and gather information about the author.

To begin, take a piece of paper and fold it into three columns. Label column one “Question, ” column two “Answer,” and column three “Source.”

Next, come up with 20 questions about Harper Lee. Your questions should be along the lines of the following:
* Who was she?
* What is her first name?
* When and where was she born?
* What her life was like growing up?
* Where did the ideas for Scout, Jem and Dill come from?
* What is her prior knowledge of a small southern town?
* What influenced her as a writer?
* What was the basis for the character of Tom Robinson?

Use these links, and others, to gather biographical information about Harper Lee:

http://www.neabigread.org/books/mockingbird/mockingbird04.php
http://www.todayinliterature.com/biography/harper.lee.asp

Using the sheet of paper that you divided into three columns, write your questions in column one, your answers in column two, and where you found your information in column three. You should use at least five different websites. Remember, three have been provided for you.

This WebQuest is due Monday, November 9th when we return from our four day weekend.

Good luck!
