To shelter kids, or not to shelter kids, that's the question.

Take 1/2 page notes:
List two things you should keep from kids (list the age of the kid and the issue to hide)
List two things you should tell kids
Write a sentence telling me how you feel about sheltering children from
unpleasant truths (death, disease, murder, financial struggles, mommy and daddy are thinking they might need to get a divorce, etc.)?
Is it right for an adult to lie to a child to shield him or her?

Reading schedule for To Kill a Mockingbird. You must have the novel finished when you come back from Memorial Day weekend (yay! Memorial Day! Do something super fun!)
The novel is 281 pages long. If you're on page 206 right now (you're supposed to be further than that), you have 15 pages per day to read.
Tonight 206-221; Tue night 221-236; Wed 236-251; Thur 251-266; Friday & weekend 266-281
If you're not on 206 yet, just do the math yourself. Read the extra pages while you're in the car heading to your camping site, or get up at the normal time on Saturday instead of sleeping in and read :)

The last 15 minutes of class we will write a found poem for To Kill a Mockingbird. Finish up as homework.
To do this, write down all sorts of words from the book.
Then, rearrange them in a way that makes a poem. Poems don't have to rhyme!
A poem needs to express an idea.
Your poem must have at least 20 words. You may add a maximum of six words not found in the actual text of To Kill a Mockingbird.
