Social Media Character Analysis

When first starting: My students are super excited and engaged today! They are creating social media character profiles for To Kill a Mockingbird that include character development and analysis of point of view. I can't wait to see their finished products!

Final Update: My students got really into this project! Most made Snapchat profiles on paper. There were a few students who Instagram and Twitter profiles on paper and then linked their paper version to a real digital version by way of QR code! Some students worked together so that their characters could interact on Twitter. 

The actual assignment was as follows:

In chapter 3, Atticus says: 
"First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks.  You never really understand a person until you consider things form his point of view-" Step inside of one of the characters' shoes to understand their point of view. If Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, Scout, or Tom Robinson created a social media profile, what would they post or say?
