Enhance your To Kill a Mockingbird unit with this Artistic Symbolism Project lesson plan! This multi-day activity encourages students to explore the novel’s deeper meanings by creating original artwork—paintings, collages, digital media, or mixed media—representing key symbols such as the mockingbird, camellia flowers, and the rabid dog. With detailed lesson plans, step-by-step instructions, differentiation strategies, handouts, rubrics, and examples, students will analyze Steinbeck’s use of symbolism, justify their artistic choices in a written explanation, and present their work to the class. This engaging project promotes visual literacy, critical thinking, and creative expression, making it a powerful way to connect students to the novel’s themes in a meaningful way!
