Process1. To Kill a Mockingbird is set in the South during the
1930s, which is the decade labeled in U.S. history as The Great
Depression. Everyone should begin by reading the section entitled
"American Cultural History: 1930-1939" at the following website: 2. You are assigned a topic to read and learn about according to the following chart.
To find your topic, simply scroll down the web page until you find your topic heading. Begin reading. Don't forget to click on the various links within your topic to learn as much as you can. 3. Click the Assignment #1 link and print out the research worksheet. Complete the steps given on this worksheet: Assignment #1. 4. You will log onto Angel and in the Discussion Forum you will share with your classmates some main points that you learned about your topic. This is the time where you can learn about other topics through discussion. Ask questions; make comments; it's your time to learn as much as you can about The Great Depression. You will have one week to read about your topic, complete the research worksheet, and participate in the Discussion Forum. 5. After participating in the Discussion Forum, you will be assigned an allusion(s) from the list below. Use the link below each allusion to learn as much as you can. Also search the World Wide Web for other credible websites to learn more. ALLUSIONS ape

6. Next I will assign you to a team of 3-4 people. The number of students in your class will determine the number of students you will have on your team. Collaboration is the key; your team is counting on you to share the information that you have learned about your assigned allusion. 7. You and your teammates will need to think of a way to unify all your information into a presentation for the entire class. Each teammate is responsible for his or her assigned allusion during the team presentation. 8. Teams need to be prepared to present the same day the chapters are assigned to read. By doing this, your team can prepare the rest of the class for what they are about to read. 9. Part 2 of the novel begins with chapter 12. As we read chapters 12-31, you need to identify an allusion on your own and then notify me of your selection. Once that allusion is picked, no one else in the class can use it. Click the Assignment #2 link and print out the worksheet: Assignment #2. Follow the steps given on this worksheet to complete your assignment for Part 2 of the novel.
