Today I will:
~Define and explain vocabulary terms by presenting posters
~Interpret and analyze character development in TKAM by filling out the character brainstorm graphic organizer & participating in a group body paragraph writing activity
Key Terms:
character development/characterization: collective observable changes in an individual's defining characteristics over the course of a narrative
prejudice: an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion, etc.
perception: the way you think about or understand someone or something
speculation: ideas or guesses about something that is not known
Agenda:
Warm-up: Table groups present vocabulary posters
Why do we often misjudge people, situations, characters? How do our perspectives shift?
~Distribute practice prompt
~Do/what chart
~Groups complete 1 brainstorm entry
~Whole class discussion & building a body paragraph together
Interactive read-aloud:
~Begin ch 29 together, pausing for questions & discussion
Homework:
Read ch 29-30 (should be to page 276 tomorrow)
Explain the following quote: "To my way of thinkin’, Mr. Finch, taking the one man who's done you and this town a great service an' draggin' him with his shy ways into the limelight-- to me, that’s a sin."
- Who says the quote and in what context?
- Explain its significance to themes, life lessons, references to title, and/or other significant parts of the story. Make sure you discuss its significance based on the entire novel, chapters 1-30, not simply its significance in chapter 30 in which the text excerpt appeared.
- You may either answer this in a 90-120 second Flipgrid or in writing (1 paragraph due tomorrow).
Coming up:
- Vocab quiz Thursday
- TKAM final test Monday, 12 Mar
- Start process essay Tuesday, 13 Mar
