Mockingbird Finale: A Crime Scene Investigation

It's always interesting to share the ending of To Kill A Mockingbird to see each reader's view of the crime scene. Of course, so much of what Scout narrates is unclear because the view she has of the crime scene is masked by the darkness of night, and her perspective is further obscured because of her ham costume. Careful reading will reveal what she hears, sees, smells and touches during the attack passage. The sheriff and Atticus fill in other questions in the argument Scout witnesses.

Today in class we will have a chance to share our own perspectives as we review the last chapters of the book and reflect in writing what we have learned. Bring any unanswered questions you may still have to class with you.

Friday's lesson from the Library of Congress may be viewed on each class. Take time to enjoy each other's pictures and perspectives. I hope you'll take time to browse the lesson on your own. There was so much rich material there.
