Notes from Scout...

We are making our way through the classic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus is a superb father; he continuously offers good advice to Jem, Scout, and sometimes even Dill. Most recently he said, "If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."

For extra credit, please post a response to ONE OR BOTH of the following prompts. Note that each response is worth up to 10 points! You must respond before the final unit test for this unit. Good luck!

1. Describe a piece of good advice that you have personally received from someone. This should be the sort of advice that is noteworthy. If you would like to respond to this prompt, but cannot think of any advice worthy of sharing, ask someone. Be sure to include WHO the advice came from, WHAT the advice was, and HOW the advice affected you.

2. Think about the advice Atticus gave Scout. Reflect on a time when you have had to put yourself in someone else's shoes in order to be more understanding or to get along with that person. Be sure to describe the situation, what you had to do, and how it impacted you (what did you learn from the experience).
