I'm teaching TKAM for the second time this year, in Senior Lit. I don't know if it's the fact that this is my second time teaching it, or the fact that this is my second year teaching these students, but I am finding so much joy in rereading To Kill A Mockingbird.
The lessons are timeless, it satisfies my current thirst to discuss and contemplate issues of justice, I can exercise the lit major in me in performing close readings of the text. I adore the characters; nearly to the point of feeling emotionally connected to them.
It is an all around fantastic piece of literature, and I'm grateful to Chuuk for reminding me of that.
