Today, we began reading To Kill a Mockingbird. To start with, we read the poem "Invictus," as many of the ideas in the poem permeate the novel we are reading. You can find it here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/51642
In order to better read the novel, we also gained some background knowledge about the time and place of the novel. View the short video http://www.history.com/topics/great-depression# to get a sense of how the Great Depression affected the people of this time and place, and do a little webs earch on Jim Crow Laws to better understand the racial climate of the setting.
For homework, read Chapter 1 (pages 1-19). You can find a PDF of it here: http://www.gardenhomeslutheran.org/home/2311/3660/Images/ToKillaMockingbird-FullText.pdf
