Second period began one of two culminating To Kill a Mockingbird projects. We began creating a newspaper for Maycomb County that deals with the significant events in the book. Students are working on advertisements, obituaries, editorials, news articles — you name it.

First period continued with Anne Frank. We made it through a great deal of it today.

Fourth and sixth periods began working on Anne Frank. We discussed elements of drama (dialogue, blocking, stage directions) and began reading the play.
