English I: Fall 2013

 Sold 30 million copies in 35 years of publication (1995)—sells almost 1 million copies/ year  Themes= tolerance, justice, humanity, friendship and family, growing up  Published in 1960

 Setting= in Maycomb, Alabama  Plotline A: Three kids, Jem, Scout, and Dill, try to find out more about their secretive neighbor, Boo  Plotline B: Trial of Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping the daughter of a poor white man

 1991 survey to name the book that made the biggest difference in lives—To Kill a Mockingbird came in second, after the Bible  1999 American librarians voted it the best novel of 20 th century  Translated into more than forty languages

What is prejudice? Can you think of any examples that help clarify the abstract term?

The 1930’s: The Great Depression, Jim Crow, and Lynching Essential Question: How can I analyze informational texts to gain understanding about a time period in American history?

 In assigned groups, visit each station to examine various texts about the setting of the novel. Spend 6 minutes/ station and then rotate at the teacher’s signal. Discuss with your group and record your thoughts on your handout. At the end and as a class, we will briefly discuss each station. Station 1: The Great Depression Station 2: Jim Crow Laws Station 3: Lynching Statistics and Information

 With a partner/ group of three, read the article. Highlight important information.  On a separate sheet of paper, record the following (at least):  Language’s role in prejudice  Three language devices used to show biased attitudes and to influence the attitudes of others/ a brief explanation of each  How to change objectionable language, in your own words

 In groups of 4-5, brainstorm ideas for a skit you might present to an elementary or middle school explaining what prejudice is, and include a warning against prejudicial language.  Decide upon roles for each person in the skit, and then practice. Be ready to present your skit to the class.

 Create a poster (to possibly be placed somewhere in our school) bringing awareness to prejudice and prejudicial language.  Consider definitions, example(s), how to stop it, etc.

 In at least ½ page, define prejudice as we have studied it this week. Think about specific examples you can include in your writing to illustrate the concept. Use formal language and proper grammar/spelling.  This assignment is worth 10 points.
