                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Given the mystery that surrounds Boo Radley, what is your reaction to finally seeing him? In what ways is it similar or different to Scout's reaction? How does this compare to the feelings that were expressed about him from the beginning of the novel? </p>
<p>To answer:</p>
<p>-Explain your reaction</p>
<p>-Compare your reaction to Scout's reaction</p>
<p>-Quote and cite a moment that helps support why you feel the way you do about meeting Boo Radley (this could be from the beginning of the novel as well)</p>
<p>-Explain what the quote helped you better understand</p>
<p>-Connect this back to how you felt about him in the first several chapters of the novel by explaining if your feelings have changed or stayed the same about Boo Radley</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To exceed: Choose a quote from the beginning of the novel and one from these last several chapters (26-31) and discuss how they work together to create your feelings about the end of the story. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In chapters 22 to 25, there are countless examples and discussions of discrimination as the town recovers from the trial.</p>
<p>-Choose<strong> two specific quotes</strong> (and cite them) that highlight different types of discrimination (individual, institutional, cultural, or internalized). </p>
<p>-Explain what <strong>type of discrimination</strong> each quote addresses and <strong>what group of people it is targetting</strong>.</p>
<p>-Explain how <strong>each quote reinforces someone's morals</strong> (could be an individual, a group of people, or the town in general) and what morals those are. </p>
<p>-Finally, talk about how those quotes build off of each other to create a specific tone. Be clear to say what <strong>type of tone</strong> you think it is and discuss what you think <strong>the relationship is between these two moments</strong> in creating this tone. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Chapters 18-21 the rest of the trial takes place and the tensions in the courtroom are high as Atticus defends Tom Robinson. By the end of chapter 21 a verdict has been reached and, although it is a surprise to some characters, it is not to many others. </p>
<p>Throughout this process, Scout, Jem, and Dill watch and hear it all, except for a moment where Dill leaves the courtroom upset and Scout follows. During this moment Scout and Dill talk to Mr. Raymond and miss the cross-examination. </p>
<p>For this response do the following: </p>
<p>-Find a quote, and cite it that you think best shows what Dill and Scout better understand in talking to Mr. Raymond. </p>
<p>         -Answer: Why is it more important for the audience to follow Scout and Dill to have this talk with Mr. Raymond rather than                      hearing the cross-examination?</p>
<p>-Explain how you felt about the verdict. Were you surprised?</p>
<p>-Find a quote and cite it from earlier in the trial that makes it seem like an opposite verdict is coming.</p>
<p>         -Explain what impact including moments like this does to the reader. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>-How do Jem's reactions reinforce what an older audience should understand about chapters 15-17?</p>
<p>-How do Scout's reactions and her confusion throughout the events in this section create a different understanding and impact on the progression of the plot? Why is it important that we are viewing the novel from her perspective during such a serious topic?</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Find and cite two quotes, one where Calpurnia impacts Scout's thinking and one where Aunt Alexandra impacts Scout's thinking. Use these quotes to discuss the similarities and differences between how the two women approach helping to raise Scout. Find at least two similarities and two differences to discuss. If necessary include additional evidence. </p>
<p>Finally, discuss how having both these women in Scout's life benefits her.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In chapters 9, 10, and 11 the conflict of the novel and a real issue within the community starts to come forth with Atticus' involvement with Tom Robinson. Both Scout and Jem have to endure a series of taunts and insults.</p>
<p>In the process of dealing with these uncomfortable situations, both Scout and Jem face some tough choices. Choose and quote (with a citation) one moment where Scout or Jem has to make a difficult (for them) decision. Analyze the following about that moment: </p>
<p>-What are the consequences (positive or negative) of their choice?</p>
<p>-What were their other options and what consequences could those have? </p>
<p>-How does being a child change their options? Or, what would their options be if they were an adult?</p>
<p>-What does this moment's choice help lead to in the story? Or, how does this moment/choice impact what comes next? </p>
<p>-State clearly what you think the conflict of the story is. Predict what role you think Jem and Scout will have in the conflict in Part Two of the story. Explain why you think that. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout chapters 4-8 of To Kill a Mockingbird, there are moments of discrimination. Scout as our narrator, does not make these moments apparent to the reader.</p>
<p>Identify 1 moment of discrimination from those chapters. Quote this moment using parenthetical citations. Scout does not directly state when discrimination occurs, so you will need to make inferences. Underneath the quote do the following:</p>
<p>1. Discuss which of the 4 type(s) of discrimination is being addressed?</p>
<p>2. Explain what lead to that moment of discrimination.</p>
<p>3. How does this moment impact your understanding of the conflict in the story (the conflict you discussed in RR#1)? </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the first three chapters, Scout spends a lot of time describing her surroundings. There are several times that she's very clear about what type of people, behaviors, rituals, traditions, or standards are common in her world. However, a lot of the time she's actually saying more than what is written.</p>
<p><em>Choose a moment where you had to read between the lines and make an inference about Scout's neighborhood. Include a quote (if the quote is longer than three sentences, use a portion of it and paraphrase the rest) and include a parenthetical citation after it. Explain what the quote says in your own words <strong>and </strong>what you inference you made based on Scout's phrasing. Use this information to make a prediction about what the conflict of the text might be. </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>To exceed, talk about two moments that work together to create a deeper understanding of the setting (this may still only require one quote). </p>]]></content:encoded>
