Active Reading for To Kill a Mockingbird:

For each chapter that you read, you will be creating an awesome title that highlights a theme and/or a major event in the plot.

Thoughts:

--No one-word titles

--A great title sometimes hints at an important point without giving it away. A great title can help point out a theme, define a character, or establish something about the setting.

--A question sometimes makes a great title

--Try not to be hit-you-over-the-head obvious

--Use your CREATIVE self—don’t be boring

--Wait until you’re finished with the whole chapter before you decide

After you write your title, write two details from the chapter tosupport your title choice. This can be a direct quote (with page number).
