Chapter 11 Continued...

Today we had Ms. DeRousi come in and give her second Morphology lesson. As she stated, please make sure to save those charts with all the suffixes on it. You will be adding more to this list every time.

For those of you still without a book for DEAR time, GET ONE. As we've said time and time again, Mr. Hannah and I have a large collection of books, and if you don't like what we have, the Learning Commons is always open for you to borrow a book.

We quickly reviewed your homework (questions 1-3 of Chapter 11). Remember, for each of these reading questions, we expect evidence from the text to support your answer. This usually means pulling a quote from the chapter and then explaining it thoroughly to prove your point.

Here are the answers to the homework we went over:

1. Mrs. Dubose says, "Not only a Finch waiting on tables, but one in the courthouse lawing for niggers." This is a huge insult to Jem because he knows his father, Atticus, is a hard-working lawyer and it shouldn't matter you're skin color, everyone should be treated equally.

2. Jem "cut the tops off every camellia bush Mrs. Dubose owned." He also bent Scout's "baton against his knee, snapped it in two and threw it down."

3. Jem "has to go every afternoon afterschool and Saturdays to read out loud to her for two hours." He also has to repair and take care of her camellia bushes.

We then started the reading of the rest of the chapter, but it's your job to finish the rest for homework and do the last three reading questions.
