Day 2: Scout
Aim: What is Scout like and how does she change throughout the book?
Objective: Students will understand Scout's character traits and how and why she changes throughout the book.
Procedure:
- Fill out character map (page 14) for Scout, listing evidence and page numbers for chapters 1-6 (Teacher should lead students to see that Scout is a bit naïve at the beginning of the story. She understands that there is racism, but in a very pure and unaffected way. To her, the major differences between people are whether they are good or bad).
- Based on Scout's descriptions, fill out Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the Ewells and the Cunninghams. Ewells:
not respectful, kids do not go to school, father drinks, hunt out of season and break other laws. Cunninghams:
respectable, kids go to school when they can, father is sober hard worker, do not break laws. Both: Poor, White, Farmers.
- Write on the board: How does Scout learn about the injustices in Maycomb?
- Teacher should print out and hang passages( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ) around the room (or direct students to
view them on computer).
- Teacher should hand out Scout's Awareness worksheet and direct students to fill in as they read passages.
- Review worksheet and final question.
