Where are they now??

In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout and Jem have inherited a legacy of values from their father, as did many other people in Maycomb County. 

 Project the characters into the future, 10 years after the novel has ended.

Ask yourself: Where have they ended up? What lessons have they learned? What have they chosen to do with their lives? How have their past  experiences affected their future?

Guidelines:

·         Use whatever tone/tense you would like

·         Discuss at least 3 characters from the novel

·         Select a style to write in: the point of view of a particular character, a dialogue, a letter, a journal entry, a newspaper article, or basic paragraph form.

·         Should be at least 2 paragraphs in length
