Directions: To Kill A Mockingbird Journal Writing

You will write a one-page single spaced journal entry for each section of chapters for the novel. You will be in a group with 2-3 other students and are responsible for reading and commenting on each other's journals. Similar to the writing for Lord of the Flies , you will write about the events from the perspective of different characters. The book is told from the perspective of Scout, but you will write through the eyes of those around her.

For each post, you will be given a choice of characters and will decide in class with your LC group who will write for what character. No two people in your group can write from the perspective of the same character and you can't write from the perspective of the same character for two sections in a row.

Perspective: a person’s point of view; their opinions, beliefs and experiences.When writing from the viewpoint of a character include the following:• What they see during each section • What they feel about what is going on• What they say to the other characters• What they think about what happens during each chapter• How do they treat other characters? How do they feel about them?Most sections are made up of 3 or more chapters, so you have freedom to include all of the chapters or focus on one more closely. Include 5 of your vocabulary words from the assigned section in your writing and have them underlined.

Posting: You MUST follow the directions below or else your journal won't be graded.
Example: Journal #1- Chapters 1-3 from the perspective of Atticus (this must be your title for each post to make it easier for your group and your teacher to read and comment)
Remember to write in the first person for your journals, just like for Lord of the Flies.
