To Kill A Mockingbird Chapters 1-4

iStartStrong Review
The group which gave you the test on your career interest would like feedback from a few students.  Someone will be here to discuss the test and results and whether or not you found them useful.  They are trying to find ways to improve the program.  Next Wednesday at lunch you will be given free pizza if you chose to participate.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Today is our first quiz on the novel.  Your first set of vocabulary terms are also due today.

Your next quiz will be on Friday (2/19) on chapters 5-11 (end of part 1).  You will also need to complete your next vocabulary handout which will be due that same Friday.

After our quiz and discussion we will learn about the 'Scottsboro' Boys, which was a trial which was part of the inspiration for the novel, through a historical document and reading as a class.  Please fill out the following SCUBA handout about this news article from 1931.  Then we will read an article about the real trail or the shorter version here and what happened to a group of young black men accused of a crime in the South.  Your SCUBA handout will be due by the end of the day.
