SORRY THIS IS LATE

Today we stamped vocab (Chapter 10), went over it, and talked a bit about more about prejudice in TKAM. We've talked in the past about the fixed ideas that everyone brought to Scout's first daty of school and the neighborhood's views on Boo Radley; today we broached the topic of religious diversity (and intolerance) in the small-town South of the 1930's. We're about to get into the most important way in which prejudice enters the plot of To Kill a Mockingbird as Atticus prepares to defend a black man accuses of a serious crime. You should be reading Chapters 12 and 13 tonight.

Also, do the second part of the homework you should have begun over the week-end. Use the web site described on the previous blog and listed on the board to find the context, page numbers, and definitions of TWO vocabulary words, and the context, page number, and brief explanation for FOUR allusions. Do this for two chapters. The one over the week-end should have been for a chapter of your choice in the 7-11 range, and tonight's should be for 12 or 13.

Upcoming--Vocab Quiz 10 on Wednesday.
