Reminders/Project

As another new marking period begins, I want you to go back and reread this post.

The project I assigned today is due Monday, February 8th. It is being counted as a quiz grade. You may work alone, if you feel more comfortable, or in groups of no more than three people.

Here are the topics:
♦ Create a Maycomb Daily News. The front page should include news from the trial as well as real events occurring during 1935. The editorial page includes the editor’s viewpoint on events in town, an editorial cartoon, and a couple of letters to the editor. Also include classified ads, store ads, obituaries, and a few comics.

♦ Create Scout’s scrapbook from the summer before first grade to the Halloween pageant attack.

♦ Atticus believes that we really don’t know a person until we walk a mile in his shoes. Tell the story of the three children from Atticus’ point of view.

♦ Write and act out a script for a television news feature on the Trial of Tom Robinson. You may model your script on 60 Minutes, 20/20, or a similar program.

♦ Create a board game based on the meanings of Atticus’ wise sayings, on characters’ motivations and attitudes, and on themes.
