TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD SCHEDULE
If you are absent, you are still responsible for the homework. Consider this announcement in advance.
Seminar leaders:

You have the option of working alone or with a partner. If you choose to work alone, you will facilitate a smaller group.

If you are absent on the day you are scheduled to be a seminar leader, you will receive a zero for that activity unless you have a note from a
doctor or a court reporter. If you have such a note, you may make this assignment up.
Seminar participants (5 total points):
 Use a direct quotation from the novel (as opposed to a reference) in support of an idea.
 Use another direct quotation from the novel (as opposed to a reference) in support of an idea.
 Keep comments concise (to the point).
 Don’t simple restate another’s idea. (It’s okay to agree with; it’s not okay to “agree with” for all the same reasons. If you have nothing to
add, then you’re not actually contributing to the discussion.)
 Listen actively and take good notes (these will be collected at the end of the seminar).
