Lesson Plan

Jigsaw to Analyze Mood and Tone in To Kill a Mockingbird (Chapter 8)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

We have an appointment! Scholars meet with another discussion appointment to discuss the text structure of the poem "Incident" by Countee Cullen. They use a Note Catcher to guide their thinking and compare the structure to chapter 8 of To Kill A Mockingbird. The discussion then moves on to more close reading activities.
