Review, Review, Review

Today was all about review. We reviewed Possessives once more for your quiz tomorrow. To prepare for your quiz tomorrow, all you should have to do is go over your notes and your homework assignments on Schoology. This should be a relatively simple quiz if you've been paying attention.

We briefly went over Chapter 3 just to make sure we were all on the same page before we moved on. Here's what we reviewed from Chapter 3:

--Burris Ewell is a filthy young boy, both in hygiene and of mouth. He doesn't shower very often and he uses foul language in talking to Miss Caroline by calling her a "snot-nosed slut of a teacher." When children speak like this, it is most often because they hear this kind of language at home. We know that he lives in a dysfunctional family.

--Calpurnia actually really loves Scout and Jem. She misses them when they've been gone all day at school and kisses them when they get back. She may be mean and discipline them, but she still cares for them like an actual mother would.

--The Ewells are allowed special privileges because their father spends all their welfare money on alcohol. The cops pretend they don't notice him hunting out of season because they know that's the only time his kids will be fed. If they were to arrest him for these crimes, his children would become orphans and in an even worse situation. The only reason they let the father get away with so much is so the children can stay alive.

After that brief review, you were to read and annotate Chapter 6 on your own in your groups. Each of you needed to fill out the Review sheet with questions to help guide you in your reading. We will briefly go over this tomorrow in class.

But tonight for homework, you must not only prepare for your Possessives Quiz, but you must read and annotate the first five pages of Chapter 15.

Get ready! This is when the story finally kicks into high gear and the drama increases!
