To Kill a Mockingbird Movie Poster Activity

To Kill a Mockingbird Poster

Activity Overview

A fun way for students to express their understanding of a story, its themes, and main characters, is to create a movie poster. As students read To Kill a Mockingbird, they will probably have certain themes or images stick in their minds. Have students create a movie poster, complete with a title, casting, and an image that conveys important information from the story.

When students complete their posters, they can be printed out and hung in the classroom. For additional templates to add to this assignment, check out our movie poster templates!
