English 10 A

I'll return your tests and your short stories and your term marks on Tuesday.

Make sure that you have read and thoroughly understood Part 1 (to page112) of To Kill a Mockingbird and that you have sufficient post-it notes to respond to the question below in a paragraph on Tuesday.

You'll be able to use this paragraph in your essay about the novel later in the month.
Please keep reading your USSR books as you lost today's 15 minutes due to the test.

In a literary paragraph of approximately 300 words, explain three lessons that Scout has learned and include in your discussion what the author might be foreshadowing. You may use your novels to answer the question but having thought about this question before hand and choosing your favourite three events will be ideal.

Also, list your top ten events from the novel so far. If you have a busy week next week, plan to get the novel finished. We'll be finished it by early December and then we'll create quote logs which allow you to do a close analysis of the text and turn it into a formal, literary essay of 1200 to 1500 words.

Have a good weekend.
