On the Friday when Laynie and Sophia and I were returning from Mount Vernon, I got a text from Walker’s teacher asking me if I had seen his presentation about To Kill a Mockingbird. He had to do a culminating project for the Book Celebration and the scope of acceptable options was wide. I saw him plugging away on his computer but I wasn’t sure exactly what he had done.
I asked, “Was it good?”
“No, it was beyond good.” She said. “I told (his math teacher) about it. It was truly incredible….He combined language arts and math and came up with three character traits of courage, maturity and morality. He graphed Scout’s progress (or lack thereof) throughout the book and then analyzed the data for a trend to see what affect Atticus’ parenting had on her.”
Leave it to Walker to integrate math, language arts and technology!
great concept!
So glad he got so much out of the book. It’s one I love.
