82. Warm up Wednesday, 9/10/14 Consider TKAM Ch. 10
Think about your parents. Think about what you see them do. Think about a time when you learned something about them, perhaps something they used to do but no longer do, that made you think about them in a different way. Maybe you were more impressed with them than you used to be once you knew about this skill or bit of history. Write about this, but let’s keep it all school-appropriate, please. Then write to compare your experience to Jem and Scout watching their father shoot a mad dog with calm skill and deadly accuracy. How did that change how they thought about their father? Explain.

Discuss warm up in pairs (if you are comfortable sharing… if what you wrote about your parents is private, just talk about Atticus, Jem, and Scout in Ch. 10)
