Friday, December 10 (E9)

Today's Objective: Students will continue reading To Kill a Mockingbird to determine how characters influence one another.


Today's SAT Word: Caste system (n): a society that is divided into social classes where one group is treated better than the others.

The people in Maycomb are divided into an unofficial "caste system" by race and family reputation.



Today's Soundtrack: "With a Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles

We have chosen this song today because it talks about how we can all do better in life sometimes if we rely on the strength, support and assistance of those around us. In today's class, students worked with partners to complete a character influences quiz (spanning from chapter 1-13). Working with our friends helps us split the assignment into smaller parts as we learn from one another.



Today's Warm-Up Question:


Who do you think are the “mockingbirds” in this story? What makes you think that?
