To Kill a Mockingbird: Historical Scavenger Hunt

You will be divided into four groups; each group will be assigned a different topic.
You will research your assigned topic using the suggested links below. Each of you will work on this step alone. You will read and complete a strong 3-2-1 according to your topic. (If you did not receive the 3-2-1 handout that was distributed in class, you can download it from the Resources section below.) NOTE: Read carefully. Make sure that all 3-2-1 notes are paraphrased or summarized. No direct quoting allowed.
Once each of you has completed the 3-2-1, you will all come back as a team to share your findings with the class. You may use the Promethean and other boards to write down important notes for the class. NOTE: When your group is NOT sharing, you will be note-taking from other groups' presentations.
After all groups have completed their sharing, you will come up with a list of the ten most important words that relate to the class's research.
You will turn in ALL 3-2-1 handouts AND your list of ten words for final written credit. You will also receive in-class points for note-taking on the other groups' presentations.
