Please begin to investigate and address these issues. Be sure you are responsible, reflective, and respectful in your responses. These are to be answered using the 6+1 writing traits. I will be posting a rubric soon. Be thorough and comprehensive in your explanations. Use graphs or tables to support your findings. Be sure you are citing your data sources and supporting your explanation or rational with the statistics and mathematics behind your response. You should assume your reader has no knowledge in these topics. The reader should have enough information to understand and agree or disagree with your viewpoint and your mathematics.
Make sure you explicitly address how the features you choose become apparent in the book, To Kill a Mockingbird. How do you see your factors illustrated in the story or how does Harper Lee allow you to feel these factors in, To Kill a Mockingbird? How do these factors impact the characters and their actions in the story?
What were the population ratios of “Whites to Blacks?” in the early 1930’s?
What was the lifestyle of the Southern populations in the early 1930’s?
How much money did each socio-economic group make? For example: Upper, Middle, Lower socio-economic classes?
What was the average cost of living during this time? What did these kind of lifestyles look like? How are they the same or different than today?
What is the ratio of court cases of the defendant’s racial background? (Today compared to the 1930’s)
What were the ratios of Black, Latino or other “minority” attorneys in the 1930’s?
How would that impact the justice system (now and then if different?)
What was the ratio of “professionals” or “educated” “minorities” in the 1930’s?
What impact would these factors have on each classes place in society?
I look forward to your findings! :-) <(^^<) (>'-')>

The fish tank game it is one of the harder games (at level 3) I think it was a fun way to practice fractions and decimals though. It was a good website and would probably benefit people that are not to much higher then people in the 8th grade. Levels 1-2 seem to be more like 4th -5th grade. They could work on the front of the page the characters look kind of annoyed.

I really liked this web site the whack attack game was fun and had all kinds if math problems and you got to whack people when you get questions right that was kind of funny. This game I think would benefit 7th-9th because there is every type or problems grade. The author I think needs to improve the way that game works because you start looking at the people and not at the problem.

this web site was ok the games were sort of hard I think it is probably based for 7th graders who aren’t good at fractions. I did like the games but they could have been easier to understand instead of having a page of instructions at the bottom.

this was a good site because it was interesting and it helps you understand input and output. This is probably more of a 6th grade game for people who are just starting algebra with in/out boxes. This web site could improve it had some instructions I was confused for the first 2 tries.

this game was confusing you can’t get passed the first try after you get one right it freezes up so that’s something they need to work on. I think its probably abut 7th grade though.
In the 1930’s things were way different than they are now. The lifestyles, incomes and personalities were also diverse from modern times. In the 1930’s populations were quite different, there was about twice as many whites as there was blacks and there was almost no Hispanics. Here are some statistics I found out: 35.7% 944,834 black 7:13 1,700,844 white 64.3% total: 2,645,678. Also many people were out of employment. One out of every four people was unemployed. It was in the middle of the Great Depression. People responded to others differently also. Many people were farmers, and many people referred to others as Ma’am and Sir rather than wassup or hows it going? Also kids would call their parents by there first names, other than by dad or mom.
