Meet Scout Finch

Also? Use EVIDENCE.

Today's Goal: Learn the context that the book To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is written in. Read Chapter One together.

The Plan:

1. Book Love Reading
2. Circle
3. Short Introduction to To Kill A Mockingbird
4. Read Chapter One
5. Purposes for Reading Questions in Google Classroom

Purposes for Reading (Answer these in Google Classroom):

1. What would it mean if a character could be symbolically represented by a mockingbird? What would we expect that character to be like, and how would they act? (from intro lecture)
2. How do Jem and Scout initially define courage?
3. Read and reread pages 10-15. Trace the background of the Radley House as Scout describes it. In addition, what are the differences between Mr. Radley and Arthur (Boo) Radley?

A Short Reminder about Citing Evidence for your Questions in Google Classroom:
A quote from a novel or other work that you use as evidence CANNOT stand alone. You MUST use a few words to lead into the quote. If you don't, we call those Quote Bombs because they blow up everything you are trying to say (because it doesn't make sense).

An example of a good sentence using a quote:
Lee proves that Scout is looking at the world through innocent eyes when she responds to her first sight of snow with "The world's ending, Atticus!  Please do something" (Lee 64).
