Welcome to our first discussion!

Welcome to our English classes' To Kill a Mockingbird blog! Weekly, I'll be posting different questions and tidbits of information for you. You'll be required to respond to my posting and one of your classmates. When you respond, be sure to include your actual name (the one we use in class--no pseudonyms!) and the name of the person to whom you're responding. Make sure your responses are thoughtful and that you thoroughly answer the questions (remember, this is for a grade)! Also, show proper "netiquette" by being respectful to others and remember--this is an educational blog! Your postings need to relate specifically to our classwork.

 

Alright, let's get started.  Discuss one of the main characters from chapters 1-11.  As you analyze that character, consider the five ways authors reveal characters--by what they say, how they act, how they physically look, what they think, and how others think/react to them.  List the character you will analyze, identify three characteristics that character has (include quotes from the book that exemplify those characteristics) and explain them.  Last, include a Bible verse referring to one of those characteristics.  Does the character exhibit godly characteristics?  Why or why not?

 

 

To help you get started with a list of character traits, you can download a list of emotions from http://www.sba.pdx.edu/faculty/mblake/448/FeelingsList.pdf.
