JOURNAL+PROMPTS

__**Journal One**__: Atticus Finch states "You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." How does this passage affect you? Do you agree with him? Have you ever climbed into some one's skin and what was your experience?

__**Journal Two**__: Were they (White Southern Girls) or weren't they typical southern girls raised in a privileged way? Were their experiences different from Scout's? Were their experiences limited by their perception of how things were meant to be?

__**Journal Three**__: What was the reasoning behind Jane Elliott's decision to transform her class? Did it work? Would it work on a 2nd grade classroom today?

__**Journal Four**__: What are the reasons Atticus gives his kids about defending Tom Robinson? He is a black man in a white community in the 1930s. Have you ever gone against the majority because you thought it was the right thing to do? If not, would you? Explain your answer.

__**Journal Five**__: Socratic Discussion Reflection. Respond to the most interesting part of your discussion with your classmates, the most interesting question posed, or the moment when you really had to challenge yourself to think outside of the box. This is pretty much a free write on the discussion. (Nice job with this!)

__**Journal Six:**__ What has the trial done to Jem and the way in which he views situations? The way he reacts to Scout as well as Mrs. Gates says a lot. In other words, what do you think the trial meant to Jem, that it may not have meant to Scout?
