Students will take a deep dive into the character of Boo Radley. In the graphic
organizer they will take note of Boo Radleys appearance and his actions and what
other characters in the book have said about him. Students will turn and talk with
their partners to compare findings.

Students will use a graphic organizer to identify their own personal character traits,
appearance and what other say about them. Students will work independently on
how to take the negative thought or presumptions and turn them into positives.

graphic organizer they will jot down 3 negatives and the action plan on how to turn
the negatives into positives.
