Today students were given a chance to take part in 40 minute tours of the new school site. I hope you enjoyed the tour (I certainly enjoyed it when I did it last week!)
We reviewed the beginning of chapter 9 where the main plot layer was finally revealed: Atticus Finch will defend Tom Robinson for a crime he did not commit. We also continued to discuss the mischievous, yet intelligent protagonist and narrator, Scout Finch.
Students are to finish reading to the end of chapter 11 for next class (Friday).
Oh, we also did a short quiz on chapters 7-9 right after break.
Finally, students were introduced to the website TED.COM. I encouraged students to set aside 15 minutes to listen to a TedTalk once a week.
