October 8- Comic strip chapter 15 and vigilantes

We began class by discussing what vigilantes are. I showed them four videos:

Students then answered the following:

Pros and Cons of Vigilantes

If you were a vigilante, what would you fight against/for?

What would a vigilante group at school look like?


Next we read chapter 15 and worked on the following worksheet

The men who came to the jail. What did they want?

What about them made them especially dangerous?

Who does Scout recognize in the group?

What type of small talk does she make?

Why does Mr. Cunningham finally decide to leave, taking the rest with him? This is a more difficult question and should be answered in more than two or three sentences.

Now, make a comic strip of the scene. For six panels, include quotes for the people and/or narrative along the bottom.
