Today I will:

-Demonstrate understanding of vocabulary words from TKAM via a quiz.
-Draw conclusions and make inferences about events and characters in TKAM by answering questions and having a discussion about chapter 14.

Agenda:

~Warm-up: answer one of the following questions to connect with the text:
A) Did you ever try or pretend to run away when you were a little kid? Why? How far did you get?

B) Scout and Dill discuss the topic of attention from parents/guardians. Scout wants less attention, and Dill wants more. What's your perspective?

~Vocab quiz // take it & turn in; test corrections all together at the end
~Close-reading + groups-of-3 discussions
~If time: Begin reading chapter 15.

Homework:

All: Read chapter 15
Directions: Focus on the scene where Jem and Scout visit Atticus in front of the jail when the gang of men comes to harm Tom Robinson. // Answer ONE of the questions below in a Flipgrid video (password: 2021). Reference a specific quote/line from the text.

  1. Describe what happens between the children and the gang of men.
  2. What words does Scout say that seem to change the spirit and tone of the men?
  3. What do Scout’s words cause the men to do and feel? Why are her words so effective?
  4. Choose a 'golden line' from chapter 15. Share a personal response, or a text-to-world connection.
