Today's class went really well. The Do Now was fun to do with last night's homework. I was impressed with a lot of the sentences you came up with. They were interesting and complex, and not about cats and dogs! Keep up that creative spirit when writing your paragraphs.
It was obvious that today's text was very engaging. I saw all of you annotating vigorously and truly fearful of what was going to happen to Atticus and the rest of the gang. The mob came in and barked on Tom Robinson's door. But did they get through? Thanks to Scout's innocence, they did not. Scout came into the jailhouse with Jem and Dill right behind her and talked the mob to death. Her pure heart and innocence won them over. Her innocence made them realize their own humanity. Remember, they came to the jailhouse to kill Tom Robinson. They may come back again later the next night to do the same thing, but in that moment, Scout made them realize the cruelty of their actions. She turned them from monsters to humans.
Tomorrow, I have a really fun lesson planned that, hopefully, will spark in your minds the seriousness and intensity of the roles of prejudice in our society.
