Reading
This week in reading, students will be close reading Chapters 21 and 22 of To Kill a Mockingbird and analyzing how different characters respond to the verdict. Students will use an iceberg analysis protocol to analyze the factual information in the case, as well as how the laws, customs, and economic events at the time influenced the verdict. Students will compare and contrast the responses of characters in To Kill a Mockingbird to the response of the community during current events, such as the Zimmerman verdict in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Writing Students will begin the preliminary work for their literary essays. Students will close read Thank You, Ma'am and Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. Next week students will begin to identify similar themes in the two pieces of literature and how the Hughes develops those themes.
