This week we are beginning our first classroom novel: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. What is your impression of the novel after reading the first eight chapters? How is the reading and annotating at home going for you? The first part of the novel concerns many universal childhood experiences such as the first day of school, meeting new people, and imaginative games. How do you personally relate to something from the first eight chapters of the novel?
Write two paragraphs for this post. The first paragraph should be about your first impressions of the novel and the experience of reading and annotating at home. Consider: Are you keeping up in the reading? Are you finding things to annotate according to the syllabus? Is annotating helping you understand the material? The second paragraph should describe how you can relate personally to something specific that happens in the first eight chapters of the book. Use a quote from the novel to show what happens and explain your similar personal experience.
Due Friday, October 28.
