Your assignment: In preparation for reading To Kill a Mockingbird, we are going to be spending the next two weeks researching aspects of the novel, including geography, history, politics, culture, and the author.

What will you research? You will be assigned a partner. For the next two weeks, you will research an assigned topic. Together, you will present a PowerPoint to the class during Tuesday-Friday (11/10, 11/12, 11/13)

You will research your topic online & in the library I have scheduled time for us to go in to the computer lab and the main Library book room so you will have plenty of time to do your research. Even though you are presenting with your partner, you will need to have separate sources.
