Monday, November 8 (E9)

Today's Objective: Students will become familiar with background information and historical context of To Kill a Mockingbird.


Today's SAT Word: Segregation (n): A practice of dividing people according to their race.

In the 1930's, segregation was rampant throughout the southern United States.


Today's Soundtrack: "Mockingbird" by Rob Thomas

We have chosen this song today because it shares a title with the story we will be covering this quarter. Starting with our next class, we will begin reading of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.


Today's Warm-Up Question: What do you know about life in the southern United States in the 1930's?
