2. Intro to Visual Journals. As we read To Kill a Mockingbird, students will be completing an entry in a Visual Journal on each chapter read. Students received this handout explaining Visual Journals: visual journal instructions. We also passed around a binder full of excellent examples of visual journal pages.
3. To Kill a Mockingbird Bingo! As I read Chapter 1 aloud, students listened closely for key words and quotations to add to their Bingo cards. See a bingo card: TKAM Bingo ch. 1 We will continue playing Bingo tomorrow to facilitate our discussion of the book as well as practice listening and comprehension.
HW: Get a journal to do your visual journal entries in. Read TKAM ch. 1-4 by Friday. Do visual journal entries for all chapters except chapter 1.
Absentees: Make sure to get a copy of Mockingbird from me. Print out the Visual Journal instructions or get a copy from the Make-up Binder. Start reading Chapter 1.
