  1. ENGLISH IIMARCH 8th Open to the beginning of Chapter 20 and let’s read the first few pages before completing our Chapter Twenty Analysis.

  2. REMINDERS • Monday= five flashcards of information are due! • One quote per flashcard • Works Cited info. Required on backside (properly cited) • Portfolio pieces from non-English classes are due on March 14th. • Homework: • Read to the end of Chapter Twenty.

  3. STANDARDS Reading 3.8: Interpret and evaluate the impact of ambiguities [and] ironies in a text

  4. TOM’S TESTIMONY • After Bob Ewell, MayellaEwell, & Tom Robinson testimony, we can assume who is lying. • However, we wonder: why would Mr. Ewell AND Mayella make up such a big lie rather than keeping this quiet to avoid public embarrassment? • What’s Bob Ewell’s motivation in accusing Tom Robinson of raping his daughter?

  5. THE EWELLS • The Ewells are at the bottom of “civilized” society in Maycomb (civilized ONLY because of skin color– more important than money in the south in the 30’s). This may give Mr. Ewell low self-esteem • When a person feels insecure, what does he/she usually do to others to feel more confidence? • Can you think of similar scenarios from the real world?

  6. THE EWELLS • Mayella has low self-esteem because of her lack of friends, her rejection by a black man, but especially because she’s been sexually abused by her father. • What in Tom’s testimony gives you the idea that Mr. Ewell has sexually abused his daughter, Mayella? • What is your mood after hearing Mayella’s story— should we hate her or feel sympathy for her? Why? W.W.A.D.? (What would Atticus do?) What does EMPATHY mean?

  7. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD • Let’s continue reading Chapter Twenty of To Kill a Mockingbird. • Homework: Finish reading Chapter Twenty.
