Homework: Dear
parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.
Option 1: Read the passage and complete task that follows:
Quote 1: “Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That
was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I
asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one
thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us.
That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
Quote 2: "First of all," he said, "if you can
learn a simple 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 into his skin and walk around in it."
1. According to Atticus, why is it a sin to kill a mocking
bird?
2. What advice
does Atticus give Scout in quote #2?
3. Explain this quote in your own words. Give a real life example
to support your argument.
“You never really understand a person until you consider
things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around
in it."
