White camellias (like those in Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's yard)

Today I will:

• Describe the differences between public and private identity and analyze shifting characterization in TKAM chapter 10 through table discussion
• Generate questions and share 'golden lines' in an interactive reading of TKAM chapter 11
• Connect the topic of courage with my own life experience in a quickwrite

Warm-up: Public vs Private Identity and Expectation vs Reality in chapter 10

Table discussions of chapter 10.

• CP: Find a quote from chapter 10 that supports your thoughts/ideas in chapter 10. Share with your table.
• H: Share a quote from your chart that connects chapter 10 to events earlier in the novel
• Be prepared to share something from your discussion with the class

Reading and talking through chapter 11 together

• Have your novel & your notebook/binder out
• I will pause reading about every 5 minutes.
• When I ask a question, I'll give 1-2 minutes of 'think time' and then 1-2 minutes of discussion time. Turn and talk to one person at your table.
• While we read, write down at least 2 questions (Hon: 3 Q) and 1-2 "golden lines"

Quickwrite: What does courage mean to you? How do you feel about what Atticus says at the end of chapter 11? How have you learned about courage in your own life experience?

Homework:

• Read ch 12-13 of TKAM. For each chapter, generate: 
• 2 open-ended questions ("I wonder why..." "How does...." "Why is it that..."). Your questions can be about the characters, about a current-world connection, something about life in general. Write down what page your question came to mind.
• 1 'golden line' (make sure you include a citation)
