To Kill a Mockingbird Chs. 21-23 Quiz & Close Reading Bundle
Save time and maintain rigor with these printable resources supporting reading comprehension and analysis of *To Kill a Mockingbird* by Harper Lee (chapters 21-23). General comprehension quizzes are included, as are more rigorous close reading activities. These materials may be used to facilitate differentiated instruction in the classroom. Answer keys are provided. This resource may serve as the basis for small-group discussions. Through these discussions, students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development, demonstrating an ability to analyze how complex characters transform and advance the plot and themes by applying logic and citing compelling, meaningful textual evidence. They will also evaluate their peers’ reasoning and use of rhetoric to advance claims, clarifying or challenging unclear ideas. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly, concisely, and appropriately, thereby helping their peers comprehend their thinking. Copyright restrictions prohibit the inclusion of the complete literary works, so the purchaser is responsible for providing students with access to the novel. By engaging in these exercises, students will: * Demonstrate understanding of Atticus's feelings about his children attending the trial * Analyze Jem's remarks to Atticus to discern his youthful ignorance of systematic racism * Discern the meaning of complex vocabulary and phrases in context, taking into consideration both denotative definitions and connotative associations * Analyze Reverend Sykes' remarks to Jem in order to infer his motivations * Identify what the text states both explicitly and implicitly * Analyze the importance of Reverend Sykes' instructions to Scout following the trial's conclusion * Consider the thematic significance of the interaction between Jem and Maudie Atkinson (a belief that there is hope for positive change in the American justice system, although that change will probably happen slowly) * Analyze Scout's dialogue to make a logical inference about Atticus's parenting * Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor * Identify textual evidence in support of the claim that Jem is a dynamic character * Explore the internal conflict that exists within Jem * Connect a portion of a given passage to the content of a previous chapter * Analyze how complex characters interact
