Monday 4/14/2014

The final draft of your expository essay will be done next Monday!  Trevor you and Denver should turn yours in NOW!

Today will will be looking at chapters 6-7 of To Kill A Mockingbird

Trevor and Denver you need to read through chapter 22 and keep a reading journal listing and explaining one interesting thing per chapter that you found = what it was and what it means in the larger picture: example - the stuff that Jem and Scout find in the knothole could be a symbol for someone (such as Boo) wanting to communicate with them. 
Chapter 6
  • Why does Scout disapprove of Jem's and Dill's plan of looking in at one of the Radleys' windows?
  • What does Mr. Nathan Radley know about the intruders in his garden? Why does Miss Stephanie refer to a “negro” over whose head Mr. Nathan has fired?
  • Why does Dill's explanation of Jem's state of dress almost land him in trouble?
Chapter 7
  • When Jem tells Scout about getting his trousers back, he tells her of something strange. What is this?
  • Can you find any evidence that Jem is beginning to understand more than Scout about Boo Radley? What do you think this is?
  • Does Jem still fear the gifts in the tree? Give reasons for your answer.
  • When the children plan to send a letter to the person who leaves the gifts, they are prevented. How does this happen? Who does it, and why might he do so?
