As a final step in the Scottsboro analysis process, students completed a small Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the events of Scottsboro, and Rosewood, respectively:

During the final part of this activity, students shared their insights.

I collected these sheets of big paper to hold on to until a certain...trial takes place in TKAM. Which we're starting on the upcoming block days.

• Do a session of Membean!
• Session ends Sunday 1/20!

TKAM Cover Analysis & Scottsboro Transcript

First thing in class, I collected students' composition notebooks with their notes on the novel's Historical & Social context. This HW was assigned Friday, and is being collected for a 50 pt. HW grade today.

Then, students evaluated 4 different covers that TKAM has been published with:

Cover A:

Cover B:

I love this one. It's so serious.

Cover C:

Cover D:

Students noted several prominent symbols!

Then students took a closer look at the events of Scottsboro, AL, in 1931.
