Tomorrow’s Task… • We’ll be journaling tomorrow in preparation for a compare and contrast essay. Walk in tomorrow with some notes on these words. Do any TKAM characters come to mind when you consider the word miscreant? Ruffian? • How about licentious? Nefarious? • How did Harper Lee use the word malevolent?
