Final Scene: Team Presentations
We got waylaid yesterday, so today we'll pick up with our investigations (close reading). If you refer back to chapter 28, you'll be able to revisit the events of the attack. Your team will piece together the scene, the weapons, victims, attacker and any witnesses. You will look for credibility and clues. The actual events are inferred, not spelled out. As this all comes together, we'll revisit the theme of the mockingbird as it is plays out in the novel.
Harper Lee's talent is amazing. In closing today, we will study the original survey we took at the beginning of this unit, and we'll determine how Lee's characters would respond.
This week of map testing may give you extra reading time in your Chief Time classes. This is a great time to read over the blog for book titles and ideas. Be sure you take advantage of this time!
Happy reading!

I'd like to recommend two independent reading books I saw in Ms. James's room. The first is Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. It takes place in the same time period as Mockingbird, and it follows a black family who struggles with racism and the challenges of the Great Depression. The other book is The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. It reads like an actual nonfiction work, but it is fiction. It is a powerful novel which follows a slave woman through her struggle for freedom all the way to the Civil Rights movement.
Ms. James says you have lots of reading time this week. Happy reading!
