Curriculum Night is this Thursday.  Have your parents come.  The presentation will be in room E204, Mrs. Capen's classroom

CP and H:  Finish reading Ch 1

CP HW:  Scout Finch is the narrator of TKAM, everything in the novel is based on her perspective.  Revisit Ch. 1 and do the following:

1. Explain who Scout is based on her reactions and interactions to each of the character’s introduced in Ch 1 (Indirect characterization of Scout).
2. Discuss her perception of each character based on her descriptions/interactions with them.

H HW:  Focus on the diction Harper Lee uses to describe Boo.  The kids gossip extensively about Boo in this chapter.  Find the following three words in the text and choose which word best represents what you think is the truth about Boo: turtle, phantom, or bloodstained.  Once you find the words, read the sentences before them and after them so you can get the proper context.  Once you have selected the word that best represents Boo, copy down the sentence in which the word appears.  Then, explain why the word you chose is better than the other two words, using what little you know from the text and using your best inference skills.  Write no more than one page.
