Seventh/Eighth Class Period: "Blues Ain't No Mockin' Bird"--More on Character

(Wednesday, August 29 for Periods 5 & 6 and Thursday, August 30 for Periods 1, 2 & 7)

As a devotional, Mr. Stone discussed William James statement, "If you want a quality, act as if you already have it," as well as the adage, "We are what we do."

Students completed their character journal entry (R7).

They then read "Blues Ain't No Mockin' Bird" (570+) and took a quiz .

Students labeled the "Sample Character Traits" handout "L8" and on the top of an additional piece of notebook paper wrote "Second Character Journal Entry." They labeled this second entry "R8." Students were to write at least a half-a-page where they named a character trait they desire and describe the actions they would take if they had that trait.

Homework for Periods 5 & 6: Study for To Kill a Mockingbird test.
