Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well! One more week till vacation! Here is the work to do this week:
1) Read chapters 25-27 (three chapters) in To Kill a Mockingbird.
This week, I am assigning partners again. I want you to discuss what is happening in the book. Remember, you should be taking notes while you read along. You can discuss those notes with your partner(s). If you are very confused, then you can read some chapter summaries here:
https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/section11/

These summaries should clarify what is happening. Please try and talk to your partner(s) on the phone or via video chat for 10 minutes in English.

Théo – Esther
Martina – Martin
Gatien – Lilou

Please try and complete this activity by Friday, April 10th. Please email your partner(s) to schedule a time to talk. If your partner(s) don’t respond then please contact me. If you can video chat, send me a picture (a screenshot/ capture d’écran)!
2) TKAM Vocab: This week, please just spend 45 minutes learning the vocabulary on Quizlet. You do not need to send me any sentences. You have all been doing a great job with the vocabulary, so this week please learn all the words, but there is no need to email me any work.
