Homework for the Weekend

Please finish "Chapter 1" of To Kill a Mockingbird and take notes on what you've read. Come into class on Tuesday ready to discuss the questions listed on the study guide. Please remember that you can write your answers, type the answers, or use post-it notes. However, no matter what you choose to do, you must take notes so that you can justify that you, in fact, did read.

Have a great three-day-weekend!!
