Themes in to Kill a Mocking Bird.

   One Major theme in To Kill a Mocking Bird is how racist some people are in Maycomb. The way the other reveals this theme is For Example, Atticus says in the book it is wrong to kill a mockingbird because all they do is sing beautiful songs and never harm anyone.What he means by that is you shouldn't kill a black person if they haven't done anything wrong. 
  Another Major theme is when Atticus tells Scout and Jem that we never really know a man until we stand in his shoes and walk around in them. What he means by that is you don't really know who somebody is till you meet them.

Test Prep Action Plan

My goal this year is to get a 3 or higher on both the ELA and Math test. On the ELA Test my plans to get a 3 or higher are to do all my work in class and ask Ms.Johns for help on things I need help on. I will also study I don't really like to study but I'm trying to achieve my goal so I must do what I need to do to get a 3 or higher on the ELA test.

To my Parents.

Dear Madre,

What I have accomplished so far in ELA so far in this year is learning how to make smart decisions while doing a multiple choice question test. Also, how to figure out what a word means by using context clues. We have been using the laptops in our ELA Class this helps me more
because typing is better then writing in my point of view.
My goal this year is to get a 3 or higher on the ELA test. Reading and writing is important in my life because I'm going to use in my everyday life.
Your Son, Algenis Ramos
