To Kill a Mockingbird Discussion Forum...

Hey guys,

I spoke to some of your peers, and they all believe that opening a discussion forum up for the novel study would be a great idea. In this forum, you can ask questions among yourselves, or to me. I have selected Danish and Payam to lead this out because in the past they have done extremely well with helping you with your quesitons or concerns regarding class assignments. While I want this space to be for the students to discuss things, I will still come here if you need me to.

Have a great time reading and discussing the text. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did when I was your age.

Take care,

Mrs. Glenn
