8. Engaging the Reader: Vocabulary Square (4 minutes)
Find your Discussion Appointment Partner and turn to p. 129: Vocabulary Square.
You will locate 1 of the 8 words posted around the room and complete the Vocabulary Square in your WB.
Work with your partner to complete your Vocabulary Square
Use what you have written in your structured notes from Lesson 3 homework p.122 and Lesson 4 homework p. 128.

9. Character Study: Atticus and Mr. Gilmer (10 minutes)
Work in your Discussion Peer Partner
You first began to see the different approaches of Atticus and Mr. Gilmer in Chapter 17 during the testimonies of Heck Tate and Mr. Ewell. Skim Chapter 17 and discuss with your partner your first impressions of each attorney’s style in the courtroom.
Turn to p.130 an 131: Atticus Cross-Examination Note-catcher
Each pair will be assigned by me to complete 130 (Atticus Examination) or to complete 131 (Mr. Gilmer Examination). You will work with your partner to answer the text-dependent questions. You will have the opportunity to discuss your responses to the questions with the other students who are studying the same character in a new protocol called a Fishbowl, which will be explained when you are ready to discuss your answers. You will have 8 minutes to work with your partner to answer the questions on the Note-catcher.

10. The pairs who studied Atticus are going to sit in the inside circle first and the pairs who studied Mr. Gilmer will sit in the outside circle.
The group in the inner circle interacts by taking turns sharing out your answers. Those in the outer circle are silent but will complete the last column in your Mr. Gilmer Cross- Examination Note-catcher as the inside group is sharing. You are all expected to contribute to the conversation when they are in the inside circle.
After 8 minutes the groups will switch. (Mr. Gilmer will sit in the inside and Atticus group will switch to the outside).Remember each group will have 8 minutes for each circle to share their questions and responses.
Fishbowl: Cross-Examination of Witnesses in Chapters 18 and 19 (23 minutes)
Group One: 8 Minutes
Group Two: 8 Minutes
Arrange chairs in the classroom in two concentric circles.
The groups will switch halfway through.

Locate the Debrief Fishbowl questions at the bottom of the Note-catcher that you completed:
“What is the difference between Atticus and Mr. Gilmer?”
“How do the differences help you understand Atticus’s character?”
“What connections can you draw to the Golden Rule?”
Let’s discuss and record!!!
Now Think-Pair-Share and add to their Atticus Note- catcher p. 36 based on what you have learned about Atticus in this lesson
Once both groups have participated, debrief using the Debrief Fishbowl questions at the bottom of each Note-catcher
