This resource and accompanying assessment task analyse the key closing speech delivered by Atticus in defence of Tom. The speech is annotated in detail for both language techniques and the ideas represented. Approximately half a page of general notes follow the annotations. The associated assessment task requires students to discuss the speech in an essay, using the notes to assist them. The task includes outcomes for the NSW English syllabus for the Australian curriculum as well as full marking criteria. The literacy criteria referred to in the marking criteria can be found in the author’s other resources.

Thank you. I cut the annotations off the side and asked my students to read and write their own first. Then I put them into groups with a set of your annotations to divide up among the members. Using your numbered notes, they took turns to report to the group and add to what they already knew. This worked really well.
