Chapter 4-7 Reading check Quiz 10 MINUTES Chapter 4-7 Reading check Quiz I dropped a hint on Friday. Were you listening? PUT PHONES AND BOOKS AWAY!

Mini-Research: The Southern gothic genre Treasure Hunt! The Southern Gothic genre was inspired by 18th century British Gothic literature, such as Frankenstein and Dracula. Although Southern Gothic and Gothic stories share some characteristics, they are also uniquely different. What are the characteristics of the Southern Gothic genre? Advance to the next slide to learn more about it!

Southern Gothic Treasure Hunt! 40 Minutes Go to: http://www.shmoop.com/southern-gothic/characteristics.html Pick the five characteristics of Southern Gothic literature that most interest you and research on Shmoop to learn more about them. Then find examples in chapters 1-8 of TKAM. Create a two-column graphic organizer using a piece of notebook paper and label it with the following headings. One characteristic has been completed for you. Add your five favorites. Southern Gothic Characteristic & Definition Example of the Characteristic found in To Kill a Mockingbird (include chapter & page number) Irony Ironic language/verbal irony: The character/author says the opposite of what he/she means. Situational irony: Events unfold in a way that is opposite of what is expected. “I stuck my tongue out and caught a fat flake. It burned. ‘Jem, it’s hot!’ ‘No it ain’t, it’s so cold it burns’ (CH8, p.74).” “As it has not snowed in Maycomb County since 1885, there will be no school today (CH8, p.73).”

Get A Head Start on Homework! 25 Minutes As you read chapters 9-10, Continue to look for Southern Gothic details, making notes of anything that you find. Look for and examine symbols (Hint: mockingbirds, Tim Johnson, nut grass). Begin your trifold for Unit 3 TKAM #1-15 vocabulary words Due Thursday!
