EXAMPLE OF EXCELLENT ANNOTATIONS

CHAPTER 12

1. 1. Discussion Question: Has Jem grown throughout the story already? I can’t exactly remember if he was as mature and respectful in the beginning. He carried his aunts bag for Cal.  (pg. 167)
   2. Uh What? Why is Atticus low key going against what he thinks just because his sister thinks a certain way? I don’t understand that.  (pg. 177)
   3. Powerful passage: When Scout said “… I can’t remember everything Finches are suppose to do…” shows that their Aunt wants them to be like the old Finches.  (pg. 179
