- Notes: To Kill a Mockingbird Character Descriptions + Opinionnaire
- One statement on a major theme of To Kill a Mockingbird will be read aloud to you. You will decide whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with the statement. Each corner of the room will represent one of the four answer choices. You will move to the corner of the room that represents your opinion on the statement. We will hold a short discussion on the reasons why students agree or disagree with the statement. We will repeat the steps with a new statement. This will go on until the end of the hour.
Friday, November 7:
- Gallery Walk: Examining Classic Crimes and Trials
- Using your Gallery Walk handout, rotate around the room and read the backgrounds of 5 different trials. After reading, predict whether the defendant was guilty or innocent and give a reason for your prediction based on the text.
- The actual outcomes of the trials will be read. Fill out the rest of the sheet as you listen (the verdict and your reaction to the verdict).
- Do you think the verdicts were fair? Why or why not? How do you think society influenced the outcomes?
- What do each of these crimes have in common?
