We are well into the trial of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird. Thanks to those of you who worked so well for the substitute while I was gone a few days last week. We continue this week with the following:
Monday: Read Chapter 21 with the focus of "baby steps" and what that means regarding the trial and racism in Maycomb County. Chapter 22 for homework.
Tuesday: Quiz on Chapter 21. Silently read Chapter 22 focusing on the theme of "walking in someone else's shoes." Fill in character chart and motif handout as you read. Homework: Rewrite the journal on "summer when I was 8" using the focus sentence that I highlighted.
Wednesday - Friday. We will complete the book and you will each write five discussion questions. Small group discussions. Charts made of character and theme to be hung in the classroom by your groups.
Test will be on Monday.
Short essay will be to write a characterization of one of the main characters.
Short essay on why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird and how that relates to us.
Think: Is there a Boo Radley in your life?
