Week of October 23rd

We are continuing our Unit of Inquiry:  Facing History, Facing Ourselves.  We will continue our analysis of To Kill A Mockingbird by reading and discussing chapters 5, 6, and 7.  Additionally, we will read a 1912 excerpt in the Independent about early twentieth-century African American maids and nannies.  We will use that autobiographical account as a contrast to how Calpurnia is portrayed in the novel.

Homework
