Standing for Truth and Justice

These are vultures.
Who in chapter 15 could we compare them to?
Today's Goal: Analyze Atticus' character motivations through close reading and by writing a two-chunk paragraph.

The Plan:
  1. Chapter 14/15 Quiz
  2. Short time to work on Book Chat Writing 
  3. Close Reading
  4. Two Chunk Paragraph
We will be reading a short passage together today, annotating as we go. Remember last time we did annotations, and we responded whenever and wherever we could? 

We annotate to:
  • REACT to the story
  • ASK questions
  • RESPOND to the character's actions or choices or statements
  • DEFINE words we don't know
  • REPHRASE writing in our own words
  • There are lots of others. These are just some examples.


Two Chunk Writing Prompt:
How do the actions of Atticus in this passage further develop Lee's definition of courage?





Homework/Important Dates:
  • CARN vocab practice due Wednesday, April 27
  • Book Love Book Chat will take place on Wednesday, April 27
  • Work on Research Paper Revisions. (I will accept research paper revisions until April 28. After that, scores are permanent if you have not spoken with me personally or via email.)
  • Your next Vocab Quiz will happen on Friday, May 6 (Two weeks from now)
