Launching To Kill A Mockingbird: Establishing Reading Routines (Chapter 1)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Scholars use a Story Impressions Note-catcher to capture their first impressions of words or phrases from To Kill a Mockingbird. They then listen to a reading of the first six pages of the novel before the teacher asks questions to check for understanding. Finally, leaders carry out a Think-Pair-Share activity to cement understanding.
