Thursday, May 21 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: suffixes (-age, -dom, -ful)
}Pick a quote from the words of wisdom poster or annotations (or find a good one you haven’t written down yet).  As a comment on my blog (like yesterday) explain why that quote is important to people today/the “real world” –should have a paragraph by end, possibly connect it to your real world connection from Tuesday
}Poster/points from yesterday discussion
}Small Group on 18-19,
Ch 18: Mayella’s Testimony –Mayella’s decisions
Ch 18: Mayella’s home life –what is it like
Empathy ch 19; Is Scout racist?;; Coming of Age and Jem –reality vs. ideal
Start a list with your group of the most important things to discuss for the second part of the book, start creating discussion questions surrounding those points (at least five for now)
}HWK: 20-22: annotations (annotations tonight should focus on the focus points), one discussion question

In your writer’s notebook/sheet of paper write: What do you think about Atticus’ closing argument?  Do you feel the jury will find Tom guilty or innocent? Why do you feel that way (use specific reasons from the story as well as your ideas, if you already know, try to think back and explain what you thought before you knew and why)
