On a lined piece of paper 1. The setting of the novel we are about to read is extraordinarily important to understanding the events contained within. Describe your neighborhood or a neighborhood you once lived in. Explain what it looks like, where it is located, and what the people in it are like. What are their attitudes and fears? What do you think about growing up there? Again, be descriptive and imaginative. 2. What does it mean to be a grown-up? How do you know when you are an adult? Why would someone refer to growing up as a journey ? 3. Define justice in your own words. What is the most unjust occurrence you ve ever heard about? 4. Based on the title of the novel, what do you think this story will be about? (Hint: No one actually kills a bird at any point. But what do you think of someone who would do that? Keep in mind that mockingbirds are small, gray and white songbirds known for mimicking the songs of other birds and are generally considered harmless and even delightful).
