To Kill a Mockingbird is essential reading for high school English students, as it tackles important themes like racial injustice and coming-of-age through rich use of symbolism.

While in-class discussions can help students engage with the text, it can be challenging to facilitate the conversation in a way that caters to each student’s level of understanding.

With Flint, teachers can have students engage in a 1-1 conversation with the AI about any book, almost as if they are in a book club that is perfectly tailored to their pace of understanding.

Here, we’ll explore the use case of a teacher using Flint to help students develop their understanding of Lee’s use of symbolism in To Kill a Mockingbird.

In this case, the teacher hasn’t uploaded any supporting materials for the AI to pull from. That’s okay, because Flint already has an expansive knowledge base that covers well known texts.
