Learning Target(s)
- I can identify and explain how prejudice plays a role in the development of this chapter of the novel.
- I can identify how Harper Lee, the author, uses birds to symbolize sensing and doing the right thing (The Golden Rule).
Mini-Lesson: Symbolism of Birds
- At this point in the novel, everything changes and the novel shifts its focus to the trial of Tom Robinson.
- Reading Focus: How might the author, Harper Lee, use bird imagery to symbolize The Golden Rule?
- Finch - is a type of bird and Scout's last name.
- When Miss Maudie's house catches fire, Scout says, "Just as the birds know where to go when it rains, I knew when there was trouble in our street."
- Later, in chapter 10, the children receive air rifles and are warned they may shoot any bird they like, but are warned never to kill a mockingbird.
