Week of November 6th

Report Cards and MAP reports come home on Wednesday!

Please sign the envelope and return it to school.

This week we are continuing our critical analysis of To Kill A Mockingbird.  On Monday students were asked to think about the question, "Who is qualified to speak for others?"  They read chapter 12 of TKAM and contrasted that to 7 Tips for Writing About Other Cultures. Their goal was to identify and discuss whether Harper Lee was knowledgeable and respectful of the cultures she incorporated into her book.  Later this week students will discuss the character Aunt Alexandria and revisit what we've previously discussed about gender stereotypes.
