TKAM ch 12-13 & vocab review


Today I will:

~Apply my knowledge of new vocabulary to create a skit with my small group
~Draw conclusions and make inferences about events and characters in TKAM by discussing the text with my peers and writing a paragraph

Agenda:


Warm-up: Vocab mini-skits! Work with your table group to help the class understand and remember your vocabulary term for the quiz tomorrow. (10 min prep time)

  • Use 1 or more props from the corner
  • Use your word at least THREE (3) times
Aberration: Abnormal or something weird
Analogous: Something that is like or very similar to something else
Frivolous: Having no serious purpose or value
Interrogation: Intense and focused questioning of someone
Attributes: Qualities or characteristics
Protrude: To stick out above or beyond a surface
Provocation: an action or occurrence that causes someone to become angry or to begin to do something

  • Book Talk

    • Person who had pizza most recently goes first
    • Choose a 'golden line' that you selected from ch 12 or 13 and read it to the table group. Be sure to tell them the page where it's found, so everyone can follow along.
    • Person to their left has 1 minute to respond to that idea by expanding on the thinking, giving a different view, or sharing a personal response or real-life connection
    • Keep going around the table. Each person has a minute to share.
    • The person who chose the quote shares their ideas last.

Homework:

Read TKAM chapter 14, and...

CP: Support the following claim with one ES and several sentences of analysis/explanation: There are differences between Scout’s relationship with her family and Dill’s relationship with his family.

 H: Jem, Scout and Dill start as innocent, carefree children who begin to lose their purity as they grow up and start to understand the real world. As you read Chapter 14, look for evidence that the children are growing up and beginning to understand the world around them. Choose one character (Scout, Dill, or Jem) and describe his/her struggles in regards to growing up, citing at least 2 pieces of textual evidence.  Use ES format. Include analysis/explanation of how the ES shows his/her struggles.

**Don't forget: vocab quiz tomorrow!**
