Pre-AP
Utilitarianism vs. Individualism (democracy) was the main topic of today's class. In analyzing the last half of To Kill a Mockingbird, we employed these two paradigms to define Atticus' sense of right and wrong and what it means to be courageous. We also discussed several poetic devices that Lee uses in the novel, including similes, metaphors, and hyperbole.
Homework: Students need to read chapters 22-31 in To Kill a Mockingbird by Friday, April 6th. On Friday, they will take the fourth exam on the novel. Then, on Tuesday, April 10th, students will take the Unit Test on the novel, which will assess all material covered in class during the duration of our study of To Kill a Mockingbird. Students would be well advised to start studying for the fourth test and the Unit Test right away.
