This lesson focuses on interpreting major ideas within Chapters 15-18 of the text. Students will work in small groups to analyze how textual elements support thematic interpretations and develop their questioning skills. Activities include annotating significant excerpts and formulating various questions based on author intent, thematic connections, and specific text references. Additionally, students will deepen their understanding through a quote analysis regarding the importance of themes represented by "mockingbirds." Homework involves completing the interpretive worksheet and crafting levels of questioning.

Lesson 47Chapters 17-18Levels of Questioning Purpose To compose levels of questions to interpret text To analyze how a quote relates to a larger theme
Quote Analysis • “I’d Rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. …”Your father’s right,” [Miss Maudie] said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” • In one paragraph, explain why this quote is so important to the book. What does it mean, what is its significance to the story? • In a second paragraph, explain if we have seen any “mockingbirds” yet in this story. If so, who? And how do they qualify as a “mockingbird.”
