Are you looking for an “open and go” type workbook to teach To Kill a Mockingbird? Then hopefully this is for you! When I was a classroom teacher, I taught this novel at least 10 times, and it is one of my favorites. This post will show you the inside, discuss the different sections, and provide a FREE activity at the end.
Just as a note, this notebook is made specifically for homeschool, independent, or distance learning. It is written like I am teaching the student one on one. However, I do have a version for public (or private) school that is available on as well, which I will discuss under the “Learn more” heading.
Let’s go!
Table of Contents & Learning Goals for Workbook
This workbook is split into three different sections: Research, Lessons Through the Novel, and Literary Analysis. The research section has specific historical aspects the student researches to get a better understanding of the novel. The Lessons Through the Novel covers a variety of topics which are pictured below. The Literary Analysis is an essay that covers the theme of coming of age.
Below are previews from the workbook with more information.
Below is a YouTube video that shows almost every page of the workbook.

For the Homeschool notebook
- The digital version is available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, here.
- This is the ONLY VERSION that includes the research section.
For the public/private school version
- Be advised, these versions of the notebook are in digital form ONLY.
- Click here, and you will be taken to my Teachers Pay Teacher store. It is not written in as much of a “one on one” type tone and some of the activities are different. The page you land on has ALL of the To Kill a Mockingbird activities and there are multiple notebook versions available.
- The research section is NOT included in the non homeschool version. Teachers vary too much in what background they teach, so I didn’t think it would be worth including for that setting.
FREEBIE & closing
One of the main purposes of this blog is to introduce people to Place Based Education (PBE). I wanted to add this PBE activity (which is in the workbook) for FREE to those who think they can use it. The activity has students research their own area to see if there were any black/white specific buildings in the history of their local area. A preview is below. Click here to gain access to the free printable library and download this document as a PDF.
