Home learning part 2a

Now onto the actual serious work J:

Let us consider this: Is Maycomb a good place to live in? Is Maycomb corrupted? [focus on 2 main themes: Courage and Prejudice]

The following is a list of tasks designed to suit different types of intelligence.

To show your response to the above question, pick 2 tasks according to your learning profile (eg: If my 2 highest scores are in spatial and lingustics, I will pick the spatial and linguistic task).

As I scored on nature smart,
Naturalist:

a. Do a research on the natural habitat of mockingbird. In your research, include the kind of flora and fauna you think exist in Maycomb and explain why the mockingbirds live in Maycomb.

The mockingbird lives in towns, suburbs, backyards, parks, forest edges, and open land at low elevations. Maycomb was a "dusty tired old town". From this, I infer that it was a suburb. The main mocking birds in TKaM are Arthur Radly and Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson lived away from Maycomb(at the edge)[links to forest edge] while Arthur stayed in his house away from others(behind closed windows)[backyards]Mocking birds would also live near but separate from other birds. Tom lived near the other blacks while Arthur had neighbors like Ms Maudie.
