To Kill a Mockingbird, Artistically

     The eighth grade is reading To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's story of small town life in southern Alabama during the Great Depression.  Recently, they created artistic representations of various incidents and locations in the story.   Some students performed small skits, others made three-dimensional displays, and still others made posters.

     Kyle drew the first-grade classroom where Scout, the main character and narrator of the story, first experienced school.  His attention to detail was admirable, and I thought he drew well.  Nice job, Kyle!

     Mikayla's group drew a picture of the Radley house and made a model of poor Miss Maudie's home going up in flames across the street.  I especially liked the fire.
