Today we are going to finish the words of the day.  Look over your blogs - and discuss them to see if you are doing them correctly.  We will then read chapter 9, locate the inciting event and answer the following questions:


1) Outline the plot so far
scout, after refusing to disobey attics in his request of not letting what people are saying about him defending a black man get to her. her cousin, francis, was teasing scout, saying the her fathers a "nigger lover" and scout bashed his teeth in.
2) List one theme and write 2-3 scenes from the book that fit that theme
prejudice is a serious problem in maycomb county and scout is just starting to learn that.
*her friends called atticus a "Nigger lover"
*francis called atticus a "nigger lover"
*atticus said he wont win the case simply because tom is a black man

3) Make a list of people Scout fits
francis, dill, Cunningham 
4) Make a list of lessons Scout has learned so far
that you cant really get to know someone until you get inside of their skin, that you dont treat people who arent like you badly

Chapter 7

When Jem tells Scout about getting his trousers back, he tells her of something strange. What is this? 

that they were stitched and folded

Can you find any evidence that Jem is beginning to understand more than Scout about Boo Radley?

yes

What do you think this is?

hes

Does Jem still fear the gifts in the tree? Give reasons for your answer.

no, he had enough courage to ask mr radley about it.

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?

Mr. Avery filled the hole up with cement, possibly because he might think his son is a pedophile due to the fact he carved little soap dolls out of two young children through the shades of his windows.
