6 L ESSON 47 C HAPTERS 17-18 L EVELS OF Q UESTIONING Purpose To compose levels of questions to interpret text To analyze how a quote relates to a larger theme

7 Q UOTE A NALYSIS “I’d Rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. …”Your father’s right,” [Miss Maudie] said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” In one paragraph, explain why this quote is so important to the book. What does it mean, what is its significance to the story? In a second paragraph, explain if we have seen any “mockingbirds” yet in this story. If so, who? And how do they qualify as a “mockingbird.”
