The Trial of Tom Robinson

Today in class we will be acting out the trial scene from To Kill a Mockingbird. Click here for a link to the script.

• Compare Scout, Jem and Dill's reactions to the trial: how are they similar and different?
• What is ironic about Aunt Alexandra's missionary circle's discussion of the Mruna tribe in Africa?
• What is the meaning of Mr. Underwood's editorial?
• What confuses Scout about Miss Gates remarks on Hitler?

Homework: Prepare for the Socratic Seminar next class and finish the book.

For Friday: Blog Reflection Posting
