English 10

Today, we began watching the movie for the class novel.  Tomorrow, we will go over questions on Chapters 30 and 31.
At the end of the week, you will write an in-class essay on one of the following topics:

1. In what ways is this a novel about courage?
2. What values does Atticus teach his children?
3. What major lessons does Scout learn over the course of the novel?
4. How is the Boo Radley plot line connected to Tom Robinson's plot line?
5. How is this a novel about growing up?

Tonight, try to think of three supporting reasons for each essay topic.  Each reason should have an accompanying quotation.
