Ewell? E-well? You-ll? (We'll figure it out.)

Today's class went rather well, no? We'll do more Do Now's where we have you guys come up to the board to fix sentences. That seems to be the best way you guys are learning this grammar stuff. Don't freak out if you're not getting it instantly like some other smarty pants. If you haven't learned this stuff before, that's okay; however, you need to put the effort in now to do so. Otherwise, you're going to keep falling behind.

As for TKAM's Chapter 3, I feel as if most of you got a good grasp on what this chapter was about. Remember, Burris Ewell is the student with lice (a picture of what he may have looked like, seen left), but his family is an important one to remember because they'll show up again later in the novel. The most important note you can remember about the Ewells (we'll get the pronunciation down soon) is that they're an exception to Maycomb's laws. They have special privileges ((1) the kids not attending school, and (2) the father hunting out of season) that the rest of the town turns a blind eye to. Maycomb doesn't arrest the father because then the children would be in far worse shape than they are already. Something to keep in mind as we continue reading.
